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/

aimThe usefulness of robot-assisted surgery for elderly colorectal cancer patients remains controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the surgical approach on short-term prognosis in patients aged ≥80 years. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 1,115 colorectal cancer patients aged ≥80 years who underwent surgery at 6 hospitals between 2016 and 2024 were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups according to surgical approach: robotic surgery (R group, n=55), laparoscopic surgery (L group, n=910), and open surgery (O group, n=150). Patient characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared among the three groups.

resultsThe O group had higher proportions of patients with a body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m

conclusionRobotic-assisted colorectal surgery in elderly patients is safe, with relatively few complications.
