Robot-Assisted Colectomy for Left-Sided Colon Cancer: Comparison of da Vinci SP and Single-Site Platforms.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 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
backgroundTo compare the clinicopathological and cosmetic outcomes of robotic colectomy using the da Vinci SP and Single-Site for left-sided colon cancer.
methodsThe study included 31 and 52 patients who underwent robotic colectomy using the SP and Single-Site, respectively, between July 2011 and July 2023. The Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire (PSAQ) was used to assess cosmetic outcomes.
resultsPatients who underwent colectomy using the SP had a shorter wound length, less bleeding, and fewer port usages compared with those who underwent colectomy using the Single-Site. The SP group required fewer analgesics on post-operative day 2, showed a shorter time to flatulence, sip water and soft diet, and a shorter hospital stay. Total PSAQ scores for the SP group were superior to those of the Single-Site group.
conclusionsRobotic colectomy for left-sided colon cancer using the SP presents better short-term recovery, requires fewer analgesics and has better cosmetic outcomes than Single-Site.
