Initial experience and results of robotic lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in locally advanced rectal cancer-a single center experience of 17 consecutive procedures.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeWe have evaluated lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) in combination with rectal resection in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer in a specialized colorectal surgical department with a focus on safety and feasibility.
methodsThe study analyzed surgical-pathologic outcomes in 17 consecutive patients who underwent robotic LPLND and rectal resection between May 2018 and June 2024 at a high-volume colorectal cancer center in Denmark. Patients were selected for the procedure based on lateral lymph node (LLN) diameter ≥ 8 mm before and ≥ 5 mm after neoadjuvant treatment.
resultsOut of 17 patients (15 men and 2 females) included in this study, 13 patients (76%) had undergone neoadjuvant therapy. The median age was 63 years (range 35-79) with a median BMI of 25.6 kg/m
conclusionThis study shows that simultaneous robot-assisted LPLND and rectal resection can be performed safely and effectively in selected patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, with a short hospital stay and few readmissions and postoperative complications.
