Evaluation of surgical stress after colorectal interventions: a multicenter randomized clinical trial of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 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
A major factor in the development of morbidity after surgery is the surgical stress response. The aim of this interventional multicenter randomized open label, parallel group trial is to evaluate the possible lower inflammatory stress response induced by robot-assisted versus laparoscopic surgery for colorectal resections. A total of 593 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer planned for elective, curative surgery was screened for eligibility. 314 patients planned for right colectomy, left colectomy or rectal resection were randomly assigned 1:1 to robotic (n = 161) or laparoscopic group (n = 153). The primary endpoint was the 24-hours postoperative ∆% change of IL-6 serum levels. Subgroup analyses included the assessment of IL-6 ∆% changes stratified according to age, obesity, comorbidities, tumor staging and resection type have been also performed. In conclusion robotic surgery was associated to a lower surgical stress after colorectal surgery and this finding may help in decision-making regarding when to proceed to robotic approach for colorectal cancer, especially in selected high risk clinical settings.
