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

backgroundIntracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) has shown advantages in laparoscopic right colectomy, but its role in robotic surgery using the da Vinci single-port (SP) system remains unclear. This study compared short-term outcomes of ICA and extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) in SP robotic right colectomy.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 110 patients who underwent SP robotic right colectomy at two tertiary centers between November 2020 and February 2025. Perioperative outcomes and 30-day postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Pain scores were assessed during the early postoperative period.

resultsIn a total of 110 patients, ICA was 32 and ECA was 78. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups, although comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension were more frequent in the ECA group (both p = 0.032). The overall rate of postoperative complications was similar (12.5 vs. 12.8%, p = 0.963), with no significant differences in individual complications. However, the ICA group experienced earlier recovery with a shorter time to first flatus (median 2.5 vs. 3.0 days, p = 0.017) and hospital stay (median 6.0 vs. 7.0 days, p = 0.024), along with consistently lower pain scores from postoperative day 0 to day 3 (all p < 0.001).

conclusionICA appears to be a safe and effective technique for SP robotic right colectomy. It provides enhanced recovery outcomes, including reduced pain and a shorter hospital stay, without increasing complications, supporting its adoption in experienced centers.
