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.
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
introductionRobotic-assisted surgery has advanced reconstructive procedures, including peritoneal flap vaginoplasty (PFV), where both single-port and multi-port robotic systems are used. However, there remains debate regarding comparative efficacy, safety, and overall patient benefits of these two approaches. This paper aims to evaluate the outcomes of single-port versus multi-port robotic systems in PFV, focusing on operative efficiency and patient safety.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent robotic-assisted PFV between September 2021 and May 2024. All procedures were led by the same surgical team. Demographic and postoperative data were collected. Operative details, such as the type of robotic system used (single-port vs. multi-port), procedure length, and estimated costs were also recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS software. P-values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
resultsA total of 47 patients underwent full-depth PFV. 24 patients underwent PFV with the assistance of a multiport robot and 23 with a single-port robot. Groups did not differ demographically (p > 0.05). Mean operative time in the multiport cohort was 264 min compared to 204 min in the single-port cohort (p < 0.001). The single-port approach yielded a mean estimated cost savings of $6,960 (p < 0.001) There was no statistically significant difference in acute postoperative complications between cohorts.
conclusionThis retrospective review demonstrates that single-port robotic-assisted peritoneal flap vaginoplasty (PFV) is associated with significantly shorter operative times and lower total costs compared to multi-port procedures. These findings suggest that the single-port approach may offer enhanced surgical efficiency without compromising patient safety.
