A prospective randomized comparative trial of da Vinci SP versus da Vinci Xi in colon and rectosigmoid cancer surgery: a single-center, open-label study protocol.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 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
backgroundColorectal cancer surgery increasingly emphasizes not only oncological outcomes but also postoperative recovery and patient-centered outcomes. Robotic-assisted surgery has gained widespread acceptance, and the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) system has emerged as a novel platform that may further reduce surgical invasiveness compared with the conventional multi-port da Vinci Xi system. However, current evidence comparing these platforms in colon cancer surgery remains limited to retrospective studies.
methodsThis study is a single-center, open-label, prospective randomized controlled trial designed to compare the da Vinci SP and Xi systems inpatients undergoing curative robot-assisted surgery for clinical stage 0-III colon or rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma. A total of 200 patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the SP or Xi group. The primary endpoint is postoperative pain assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale on postoperative days 1 and 3. Secondary endpoints include operative variables, postoperative complications, inflammatory markers, pathological outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
conclusionsThis trial is expected to provide prospective evidence on the clinical value of the SP platform and to support evidence-based decision-making in robotic colon cancer surgery. The trial has been registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR: R000065814).
