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

Robot-assisted surgery for colorectal cancer is gaining traction in Japan, particularly with the approval of the da Vinci SP system for insurance coverage in 2022. This system enables precise and flexible procedures through a single port accommodating three instrument arms and a camera. We present a case involving a 73-year-old man with synchronous tumors in the cecum, sigmoid colon, and rectum (Rb). Simultaneous resection was successfully performed using the da Vinci SP system by a robotic surgical team and a perineal team without complications. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of simultaneous resection of triple colorectal lesions using this system. The single-port design and 360° rotating arms enhanced maneuverability and reduced the need for multiple incisions compared to conventional platforms. The da Vinci SP system shows promise for treating multi-lesion colorectal cancer cases, though further studies are required to validate its long-term efficacy and broader clinical utility.
