Diversifying Robotic Ileocecectomy Methods: Superior Port Placement in a Patient With an Obstructed Crohn's Disease Flare-Up.
Article in Cureus, 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
Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease that can lead to fibrostenotic and fistulizing complications, requiring surgical management. We present a patient with known ileocolonic CD who presented with bowel obstruction and an interloop abscess. Imaging and intraoperative findings were consistent with advanced fibrostenotic and fistulizing disease involving the terminal ileum and adjacent small bowel. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted ileocecectomy and small bowel resection. Due to inflammatory burden and anatomic distortion, a modified port placement strategy was used to facilitate safe dissection and resection. The surgery was successfully performed with no intraoperative or postoperative complications. This case highlights the importance of individualized operative planning in complex CD and demonstrates the utility of adaptable robotic port placement in managing advanced intra-abdominal inflammatory disease.
