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
objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoendoscopic single-port surgery (R-LESS) in infant urology and to report our early single-center experience.
methodsClinical data were retrospectively collected from 20 infants (≤ 12 months) who underwent R-LESS using the Da Vinci Xi system between February 2024 and April 2025. Information included demographic characteristics, perioperative parameters, and postoperative outcomes. The median age at surgery was 2.5 (IQR: 2, 4) months. Sixteen patients underwent pyeloplasty, two underwent ureteral reimplantation, and two underwent nephrectomy.
resultsAll procedures were completed successfully without conversion to open surgery or intraoperative complications. The median docking time, console time, and total operative time were 7 (IQR: 6, 8) min, 181 (IQR: 156, 207) min, and 212 (IQR: 189, 238) min, respectively. Median estimated blood loss was 5 (IQR: 5, 9) mL. Median total hospital stay was 6 (IQR: 6, 10) days, with a median postoperative stay of 2 (IQR: 1, 4) days. The median follow-up duration was 9.1 (IQR: 5.4, 11.2) months. Postoperative complications were observed in three cases (15%): two patients (10%) developed febrile urinary tract infections (Clavien-Dindo Grade II), which resolved with antibiotic treatment; one patient (5%) required hospital readmission for wound debridement due to poor healing (Clavien-Dindo Grade III), with favorable postoperative recovery.
conclusionR-LESS is a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical approach in infant urology.
