Clinical benefits including the postoperative inflammatory status of robot-assisted distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer compared with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy in patients with obesity.

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
This study aimed to clarify the clinical benefits of robot-assisted distal gastrectomy (RDG) versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) in patients with obesity.The analysis included 89 and 87 patients in LDG and RDG groups, respectively. The associations between body mass index (BMI) and surgical outcomes including postoperative inflammation were compared between LDG and RDG.Incidences of postoperative complications did not show a significant difference between LDG and RDG. The operating time and blood loss increased with BMI in the LDG group, whereas no such correlation was observed in the RDG group. While BMI and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on postoperative day (POD) 3 showed a significant correlation in LDG (R = 0.393, p < 0.001), RDG did not show a correlation. In patients with BMI ≥ 25 (kg/m
