Robot-Assisted Ultra-Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumors after Severe Perineal Tears: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSurgical repair of severe perineal tears is required immediately postpartum. Owing to their low prevalence, the post-treatment course of severe tears is not well known. Herein, we report a rare case of a young woman who underwent robot-assisted curative resection with anal preservation for a rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) incidentally discovered following a severe perineal tear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 29-year-old woman experienced a severe perineal tear during the first vaginal delivery, which led to the incidental discovery of a 20-mm rectal NET. Four months after the perineal tear, the gynecology and digestive surgery teams ensured that the tear wound had completely healed and anal function was preserved. The patient underwent robot-assisted ultra-low anterior resection with lymph node dissection. The procedure was successfully completed, preserving anal function, and histopathology confirmed an NET (G2, pT2N2aM0, pStage IIIB). The patient recovered smoothly and was discharged on the seventh postoperative day.
conclusionsRectal surgery after severe perineal tears may be associated with scarring and fibrosis around the rectum, and precautions should be taken at the time of rectal dissection. Depending on the tumor condition, it may be advisable to perform rectal surgery several months after the tear rather than immediately after treatment for the tear.
