Initial experience of complete portal robotic esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma in semi-prone position under single-lumen insertion for anaesthesia.

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
Although robot-assisted esophagectomy has been widely used for the treatment of esophageal cancer (EC), no unified surgical technique is available. Thus, we summarized our own technique of robotic portal esophagectomy with four arms (RPE-4) for the surgical treatment of EC. A total of 22 patients with RPE-4 between June 2018 and October 2023 were included in the study. These patients received RPE-4 in the semi-prone position for thoracic procedures and in the supine position for abdominal procedures using the Da Vinci Si/Xi system. Four arms of the Da Vinci Si/Xi system combined with a 12-mm assistant port were used in all cases. Single-lumen tracheal tube insertion was performed for anesthesia, with the use of CO
