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

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has transformed surgical oncology practice over the past four decades. This narrative reflects on Korea's pioneering role in MIS, particularly in colorectal surgery, chronicling its evolution from early laparoscopic cholecystectomy to advanced robotic procedures. Through personal experience, institutional milestones, and landmark clinical trials-including the COREAN trial-this Presidential Lecture at KSERS 2025 reviews the challenges, milestones, and future direction of MIS. It underscores the need for evidence-based surgical innovation and sustained commitment to clinical trials.
