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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe increased use of robotic rectal surgery has raised concerns regarding the increase in postoperative complications, PATIENTS AND

methodsWe included patients who underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy and rectal resection at Shinshu University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021. We performed two studies: Study 1 compared the short-term treatment outcomes between patients who used high-positioning pelvic pads during surgery and those who did not, whereas Study 2 analyzed factors affecting the time to inferior mesenteric artery division using multivariate analysis.

resultsIn Study 1, no significant differences in patient demographics were observed between the groups. The use of high-positioning pelvic pads significantly reduced the overall surgical time and number of gauzes used, with no significant differences in blood loss, complication rates, or duration of hospital stay. In Study 2, we identified intra-abdominal adhesions requiring adhesiolysis and use of high-positioning pelvic pads as factors influencing the time to inferior mesenteric artery division.

conclusionThe use of high-positioning pelvic pads facilitated surgeries with a reduced head-down tilt, thereby contributing to shorter surgical times. This approach may help decrease the incidence of compartment syndrome, suggesting the need for further prospective trials and studies on robotic surgery.
