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
purposeWe describe details and outcomes of a novel technique for optimizing the surgical field during robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) for distal pancreatic lesions, which has become common with potential advantages over laparoscopic surgery.
methodsFor suprapancreatic lymph node dissection and splenic artery ligation, we used the basic center position with a scope through the midline port. During manipulation of the perisplenic area, the left position was used by moving the scope to the left medial side. The left lateral position is optionally used by moving the scope to the left lateral port when scope access to the perisplenic area is difficult. In addition, early splenic artery clipping and short gastric artery dissection for inflow block were performed to minimize bleeding around the spleen. We evaluated retrospectively the surgical outcomes of our method using a scoring system that allocated one point for blood inflow control and one point for optimizing the surgical view in the left position.
resultsWe analyzed 34 patients who underwent RDP or R-radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS). The left position was applied in 14 patients, and the left lateral position was applied in 6. Based on the scoring system, only the 0-point group (n = 8) had four bleeding cases (50%) with splenic injury or blood pooling; the other 1-point or 2-point groups (n = 13, respectively) had no bleeding cases (p = 0.0046).
conclusionOptimization of the surgical field using scope transition and inflow control ensured safe dissection during RDP.
