Learning curve of transanal minimally invasive surgery for rectal neoplasm.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. 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
Objectives: The field of view through transanal endoscopic provides new treatment approaches for solving complex clinical problems. TAMIS belongs to single-port endoscopic surgery, and the operation is complex. Analyzing the learning curve of TAMIS aims to facilitate its better clinical promotion. Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed the clinical data of 58 patients who underwent TAMIS by the same surgeon from January 2018 to October 2024. The learning curve of TAMIS was obtained using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis, and the optimal number of surgeries was determined based on the peak value of the curve, Clinical indicators such as operative time, intraoperative blood loss, positive rate of circumferential margin, length of postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of postoperative complications were compared at different stages. Results: All 58 patients successfully underwent TAMIS. The optimum curve equation was y=0.016 Conclusions: The learning curve of TAMIS can be divided into Pre-proficiency stage and Post-proficiency stage. 22 surgeries may be the number of surgeries required to cross the TAMIS learning curve.
