Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05537727 (Robotic Minimally Invasive Gynecological, Urological, and General Surgery With Dexter), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundRobotic surgery has been increasingly used in colorectal surgery, where the improved visualization and dexterity are of benefit. The aim of this study was to confirm the perioperative and early postoperative safety and evaluate the clinical performance of the DEXTER

methodsA prospective, multicenter, post-market study was conducted across three sites in France, Germany, and Switzerland. Four surgeons performed the surgeries with DEXTER. The primary endpoints were major complications defined as Clavien-Dindo grades III-V, and procedural success rate. Secondary endpoints included perioperative safety and performance assessment up to 30 days post procedure.

resultsA total of 33 patients with a median age of 71 years (IQR 63-78) and BMI 25.4 kg/m

conclusionsRight colectomy with DEXTER is feasible and the results of this study support the short-term safety and clinical performance of the device, even early in the learning curve. Studies with long-term follow-up and functional outcomes are needed to assess long-term safety and performance. CLINICAL

trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05537727 (registered on 8 September 2022).
