First-in-human robot-assisted laparoscopic sigmoid resection using ANSUR surgical unit
Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe ANSUR surgical unit
methodsRobot-assisted laparoscopic sigmoid resection using the ANSUR surgical unit was planned for a 69-year-old woman with advanced sigmoid colon cancer.
resultsTumor resection was successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. The operative time was 147 min, and the estimated blood loss was 36 mL. The roll-in, roll-out, docking, and undocking times were 182, 36, 387, and 41 s, respectively. No mechanical failure or malfunction of the surgical unit was observed. Moreover, no adverse events related to the surgical unit were observed. The patient was discharged 5 days postoperatively without complications. The histopathological diagnosis was T3N1aM0, stage IIIB, with clear proximal and distal resection margins. During follow-up 30 days later, an uneventful patient recovery was noted.
conclusionsThis is the first case of robot-assisted laparoscopic sigmoid resection for sigmoid colon cancer using the ANSUR surgical unit. The procedure was performed with technical and oncological safety.
