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

aimThis study compared short- and long-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal adenocarcinoma using sex-stratified analyses.

methodsPatients who underwent elective robotic or laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer were included. Prospectively maintained database of outcomes was analysed retrospectively. To minimise selection bias, groups were matched.

resultsOf 409 identified patients, 380 met the eligibility criteria (mean age: 61 years, BMI: 26.2 kg/m

conclusionsRobotics and laparoscopic LAR achieved similar oncologic outcomes. The findings should be interpreted as sex-stratified comparisons rather than evidence of differential effect of surgical approach according to sex.
