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

backgroundRobotic-assisted laparoscopic single-site hysterectomy is popular among patients and surgeons due to good cosmetic outcomes and fast recovery. However, questions remain such as loss of triangulation and instrument collision. Our aim is to test the feasibility and safety of a purpose-designed single-site robotic surgical platform mainly in hysterectomies.

methodsWe retrospectively collected patients who had undergone hysterectomy by SHURUI (SR-ENS-600) robotic surgical system in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. Initial cases as control were also collected including da Vinci single-site (IS4000) and multi-port (IS3000 and IS4000) hysterectomies performed by the same surgical team. The main outcome was surgical feasibility rate (valid surgeries/total cases × 100%). Short-term post-operative outcomes and complications were recorded and compared between three groups.

resultsFrom Dec, 2nd, 2023 to Mar, 1st, 2024, 19 cases of hysterectomies were enrolled, including 6 myomas, 2 adenomyosis, 9 cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion/stage Ia1 cancers, and 2 stage Ia endometrial cancers. Seventeen cases of da Vinci single-site surgeries and 20 cases of multi-ports surgeries were also included for comparation. Intra-operative bleeding volume was significantly lower in SHURUI group compared with da Vinci single-site and multi-ports groups (40.5 mL vs 47.4 mL vs 58.5 mL, P = 0.046 and 0.028). Post-operative time to flatus was also shorter in SHURUI group compared with da Vinci single-site and multi-port surgeries (22.9 h vs. 33.5 h vs. 28.6 h, P = 0.054 and 0.001). Follow-up for SHURUI group lasted for 3 months with no complications.

conclusionsSHURUI robotic surgery was feasible and safe in hysterectomies. It also had comparable outcomes with da Vinci robotic platform and approaches.
