Robot-Assisted Surgery for Reversed Intestinal Malrotation with Concurrent Cecal Carcinoma: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reversed intestinal malrotation is an extremely rare disease, with an incidence of 1 in 250 000. In Japan, application of robotic-assisted colorectal cancer surgery is expected to increase. There are no reports of robot-assisted surgery for cecal cancer with reversed intestinal malrotation. CASE REPORT An 84-year-old Japanese man with epigastric pain and abdominal distention was referred to our hospital's Department of Gastroenterology for thorough examination. Colonoscopy revealed a semicircumferential type 2 tumor in the cecum and ascending colon. Gastrografin contrast study showed that the large intestine was entirely on the patient's right side and the small intestine was shifted to the left side. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed enlarged lymph nodes near the tumor, and masses were observed at the liver, which were believed to be metastases. Following examination, reversed intestinal malrotation and concurrent cecal cancer was diagnosed. The patient was referred to our department for surgery and underwent robot-assisted ileocecal resection with D3 lymphadenectomy. The postoperative course was favorable, and patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day, without complications. According to the Japanese Classification of Colorectal, Appendiceal, and Anal Carcinoma 9th edition, the pathological diagnosis was pT4b (ileum), pN1b, cM1a (H1 [grade A]), and pStage IVa cancer. After considering tumor stage and patient's overall condition in consultation with his family, we decided against palliative systemic therapy. The patient was provided with best supportive care. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted surgery might be useful in manipulation of the dissection of adhesions, owing to its capacity for high-resolution 3-dimensional imaging and forceps manipulation, using articulated functions.
