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

backgroundMajor abdominal surgery frequently leads to peritoneal dialysis (PD) dropout and technique failure, owing to complications that compromise the integrity of the abdominal wall or the peritoneal cavity. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the first case of an uncomplicated robotic-assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy for endometrial cancer (EC) in a 46-year-old PD patient with clinical obesity (Body Mass Index 38 kg/m2). Following a short-term planned transfer to hemodialysis in the immediate postoperative period, she was able to resume her regular PD regime, demonstrating that technique survival is feasible despite major surgery and multiple risk factors.

conclusionThis case demonstrates that robotic surgery can be safely performed in a PD patient with endometrial cancer, when supported by careful planning and close interdisciplinary collaboration.
