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

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of single-incision robotic-assisted choledochal cyst surgery using the novel SHURUI Endoscopic Surgical Robotic System (SR-ENS-600).

backgroundRecently, the advent of single-incision (also named single-port) robotic systems has not only enhanced aesthetic results but also retained the advantages of traditional robotic surgery, making it a highly promising option for pediatric surgical procedures.

methodThis study included 10 patients with choledochal cysts who underwent single-incision robotic assisted surgery (SIRAS) at a pediatric surgery center between November 2023 and March 2024. Clinical parameters of SIRAS were systematically evaluated, short-term postoperative outcomes and follow-up data were also analyzed. Previous data of laparoscopic surgery (LS) by the same surgeon was used as comparison data.

resultsNine females and 1 male were included, with a median age of 4.5 years (range 2-12 years) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 16.28 ± 2.26 kg/m

conclusionThe SR-ENS-600 platform enables experienced surgical teams to perform SIRAS for pediatric choledochal cysts effectively and safely.
