1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo compare the differences in surgical outcomes of robot-assisted treatment and laparoscopy for benign ovarian tumors among pediatric patients.

methodsA total of 39 patients underwent robot-assisted surgery, and their outcomes were compared with 55 patients treated with laparoscopy during the same period by the same surgeons.

resultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age (7.5 ± 4.5 vs. 8.8 ± 3.8 years, p = 0.2496), weight (29.3 ± 17.7 vs. 31.7 ± 14.6 kg, p = 0.4383), or tumor size (5.0 ± 3.3 vs. 5.1 ± 3.8 cm, p = 0.8541). However, the operative time was significantly longer in the robotic surgery group (102.7 ± 33.5 vs. 89.3 ± 50.9 min, p = 0.0112). There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss. Fewer patients in the robotic surgery group opted for day surgery compared to the laparoscopy group (15.4% vs. 54.5%, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups of patients who chose inpatient surgery (5.6 ± 3.4 vs. 4.4 ± 2.9 d, p = 0.1213). There was no conversion to open surgery and no early postoperative complications in both groups.

conclusionRobot-assisted surgery and laparoscopy yield comparable outcomes for the treatment of benign ovarian tumors in children, although robotic surgery has a longer operative time.
