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

backgroundRestorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard surgical option for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) wishing to avoid a permanent ileostomy. Single-port (SP) robotic surgery offers enhanced dexterity and visualization, potentially overcoming the limitations of single-port laparoscopy in the confined pelvic cavity. Its role in IPAA for UC is unexplored.

methodsPatients with ulcerative colitis undergoing SP robotic proctectomy with IPAA at a tertiary center between October 2024 and June 2025 were reviewed. Procedures followed a standardized three-step approach with transanal transection single stapled (TTSS) anastomosis. Feasibility was defined as completion of the procedure without unplanned conversion to multiport laparoscopy, laparotomy, or transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). Safety by 30-day postoperative morbidity, readmission, and pouch leak rates was analyzed.

resultsA total of 14 patients (median age 34 years; body mass index (BMI) 26.2 kg/m

conclusionsSP robotic proctectomy with IPAA is feasible and safe in unselected patients with UC, supporting further large prospective evaluation.
