Intracorporeal Anastomosis for Robotic-assisted Right Hemicolectomy Using an Umbilical Assistant Port.
Article in Journal of the anus, rectum and colon, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is ongoing debate on the respective merits of extracorporeal and intracorporeal anastomoses in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for right-sided colon cancer. Herein, we report the benefits of intracorporeal anastomosis for right-sided colon cancer using an umbilical assistant port. The final decision to perform an intracorporeal or extracorporeal anastomosis was made intraoperatively. Robotic ports were established; the Da Vinci Xi robotic system was used with the specified instrument configuration. The benefits of intracorporeal anastomosis for right-sided colon cancer using an umbilical assistant port include reduced stress for the surgical team and improved adaptability. Although techniques differ, standardizing practices tailored to each team's strengths is vital for advancing robotic-assisted surgery. This method minimizes lower abdominal incisions, thereby reducing the risk of wound infection and incidence of postoperative hernia. Comprehensive evidence of robotic-assisted colon surgery remains limited, underscoring the need for ongoing evaluation and refinement of techniques.
