Long-term functional and prognostic outcomes of robotic intersphincteric resection for treating low rectal cancer: a single-center retrospective study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIntraoperative and postoperative data collected from patients with low rectal cancer who had undergone robotic and laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (ISR) procedures were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate factors linked to anastomotic leakage and postoperative recovery of urinary function, bowel control, and long-term prognosis.
methodThis single-center study enrolled patients with low rectal cancer who had undergone robotic ISR (n = 150) or laparoscopic ISR (n = 150) from January 2016 to July 2019.
resultThe respective mean tumor distances from the anal margin in the robotic and laparoscopic ISR groups were 3.94 ± 0.48 cm and 5.66 ± 0.47 cm, while the mean times to postoperative catheter removal in these respective groups were 4.9 ± 1.4 days and 5.3 ± 1.6 days (P = 0.007). Binary logistic regression analyses indicated that a higher BMI (≥ 25 kg/m
conclusionThese results highlight the promise of robotic ISR as an approach to managing cases of low and ultra-low rectal tumors, providing a safe and feasible alternative to conventional laparoscopic ISR treatment.
