Single-Port Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy Using the Single-Port Robotic System via the Subcostal Approach: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRobot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has gained global popularity. Recent randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that RAMIE results in reduced operative times and a greater number of dissected lymph nodes compared to conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). This study provides an initial analysis of single-port (SP) robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (SRAMIE) using the SP robotic system via the subcostal approach. The primary objective is to examine perioperative outcomes of SRAMIE compared to multi-port RAMIE (MRAMIE) using the Xi robotic system and video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (VAE).
methodsIn this retrospective study, patients who underwent MIE at a single center between February 2017 and December 2024 were analyzed. Patients were divided into SRAMIE (
resultsThe SRAMIE group did not experience conversions to thoracotomy or VAE. Compared with VAE, SRAMIE resulted in significantly shorter chest tube duration (
conclusionsSRAMIE is a feasible approach offering advantages over VAE in recovery and postoperative pain. The comparable perioperative outcomes suggest that SRAMIE may be a viable alternative to conventional MIE, warranting further large-scale studies.
