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

backgroundColorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy globally, with the liver being the predominant site of metastatic disease.

aimTo evaluate safety, feasibility, and outcomes of robotic liver resection (RLR)

methodsThis study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Systematic searches in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library identified comparative and noncomparative reviews evaluating RLR

resultsPooled evidence from two comparative systematic reviews (9792 patients) demonstrated that RLR offers distinct advantages over LLR and OLR, including significantly lower conversion rates (4.7%-6.7%

conclusionRLR is a safe and feasible alternative to LLR and OLR for CRLM, demonstrating superior technical performance and comparable short-term outcomes.
