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

objectiveThis study compares the surgical and oncological outcomes of minimally invasive robotic (RLP) and laparoscopic (LLP) left pancreatectomy in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients.

methodsData from patients who underwent minimally invasive left pancreatectomy between 2013 and 2023 were analyzed. Two groups were identified: RLP and LLP. Perioperative outcomes were compared, including operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, and postoperative complications. Oncological outcomes included margin status, lymph node retrieval, lymph node status, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS).

resultsFifty-four patients were divided into the LLP (

conclusionRLP provides outcomes identical to LLP in treating body-tail pancreatic cancer, with further studies needed to confirm its long-term oncological efficacy.
