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

<p>Introduction: In this first preclinical evaluation study of the hinotori™ system in gastric resection procedure, its capabilities to perform distal and total gastrectomy while using human cadaver models were evaluated.

methodsThree robotic distal gastrectomies (RADGs) and one total gastrectomy were performed in human cadavers using the same setup. A delta-shaped anastomosis in the RADG procedures were performed with a manual stapler.

resultsThe mean operative time for three distal gastrectomies was 118 min, while the total gastrectomy procedure focused on the resection only. The dissection could be made up to pulmonary veins, while the entire setup was kept. The procedures were done safely according to the surgical standards with smooth instrument and overall performance without any complications seen. An ergonomic surgeon cockpit and head rest supported the outcome.

conclusionDocking-free design and human arm-like movement with a high degree of operation arm mobility showed a wide range of motion of the wristed robotic instruments. This could be beneficial for multiquadrant procedures resulting in potential shorter procedures times with smother performance, which should be evaluated in further studies. </p>.
