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

Background: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare robotic versus open simultaneous resections for colorectal cancer and colorectal liver metastases. Methods: On June 3, 2024, we searched on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. The eligibility criteria followed the PICO framework. The population included patients undergoing simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and liver metastases. The intervention was robotic-assisted surgical resection, compared to open surgical resection as the control group. The outcomes were postoperative hospital stay, mortality, operative time, estimated intraoperative blood loss, intestinal anastomotic leakage, and bile leakage. Two authors independently extracted data regarding the characteristics of each study. We assess risk of bias using the ROBINS-I tool and RoB 2 tool. Results: We included 4 studies with 1,722 patients, of whom 210 (12.2%) underwent a robotic surgery approach. The intraoperative blood loss (mean difference [MD] -87.48 mL; 95% confidence interval [CI] [-103.76, -71.21]; Discussion: This study provides evidence that robotic approaches yield improved outcomes for patients undergoing simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and liver metastases.
