1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with obese patients facing significantly higher perioperative risks due to anatomical and physiological challenges. While robot-assisted surgery (RAS) offers potential advantages through 3D high-definition imaging and tremor filtering capabilities, comprehensive safety data for obese patients remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the safety profile and complication spectrum of robotic surgery in obese patients. A retrospective observational study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2019 to March 2025. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m
