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

Background: Telementoring has emerged as a tool for bridging gaps in surgical mentorship and expertise. Its use in robotic colorectal surgery remains limited. Case Presentation: We report the first documented case of a robot-assisted abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal cancer, technically complicated by the presence of a pelvic left kidney, performed under real-time, transcontinental telementoring between China and Eastern Europe. A 61-year-old male with rectal adenocarcinoma extending to the anal canal underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by robotic APR using the da Vinci X system. Telementoring was achieved through the Proximie® platform between China and Eastern Europe. The telecommunication connection was stable, enabling real-time audio-visual and augmented-reality communications. The safety and efficiency of the surgical procedure were improved by the telementoring, and the patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 5. Conclusion: This unique case demonstrates the technical feasibility, patient safety, and clinical utility of transcontinental telementoring in complex robotic colorectal surgery, which allows expanded global access to surgical mentorship and expertise.
