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

backgroundThere is limited clinical evidence from India comparing robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), laparoscopic surgery (LPS), and open laparotomy (OL) approaches for managing stage 1 endometrial cancer (EC). This multicenter study aimed to evaluate and compare the perioperative and short-term outcomes of these techniques across high-volume Indian institutions. METHODOLOGY: This multicenter, retrospective, non-randomized comparative study reviewed medical records of consecutive patients who underwent OL, LPS, or RAS for stage 1 EC between January 2010 and December 2023.

resultsA total of 2,090 patient records were analyzed, including 1,223 in the RAS group, 451 in the LPS group, and 416 in the OL group. The average age was 59.66 ± 9.31 years, with no significant differences between groups. The overall mean operative time was 220.51 ± 93.73 minutes, with the RAS group demonstrating a significantly shorter duration than both OL and LPS groups (

conclusionsThis study reports the first multicentric evidence for RAS in Indian settings, compared to conventional approaches, and offers encouraging outcomes.
