Feasibility and Outcomes of a Robotic Retroperitoneal Approach to Para-Aortic Lymphadenectomy in Intermediate- and High-Risk Endometrial Cancer: A Prospective Study.

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
backgroundThis prospective feasibility study evaluated the safety and efficacy of robotic retroperitoneal para-aortic lymphadenectomy in patients with intermediate-to high-risk endometrial cancer.
methodsPatients with endometrial cancer who underwent robotic surgical staging at Mie University Hospital between October 2021 and May 2025 were prospectively enroled and analysed following ethics approval. Patient clinical data, intraoperative parameters, and postoperative quality of life (QOL) were collected according to a predefined protocol.
resultsThe study included 18 patients with a median operative time of 411.0 min, median blood loss of 51.0 mL, and 25.5 and 24.5 resected pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes, respectively. Para-aortic lymph node metastasis was observed in one case, and postoperative complications in two. QOL returned to baseline within 28 days postoperatively.
conclusionsThe robotic retroperitoneal approach to para-aortic lymphadenectomy is a feasible and safe staging procedure for intermediate-to high-risk endometrial cancer, with rapid postoperative QOL recovery.
trial registrationThis study was registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT1042210047).
