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

In recent years, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) has gained growing attention because, compared with conventional multiport laparoscopy, it offers superior cosmetic outcomes, reduced postoperative pain, and faster. However, LESS is technically more challenging and characterized by a steep learning curve. The introduction of robotic surgical systems offers new solutions to overcome the technical limitations of LESS, thereby promoting its further development. This article provides a review of the current applications of LESS in urology, with a focus on the technical progress, clinical outcomes, and challenges of robot-assisted LESS (R-LESS). Additionally, the future trends involving the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, telesurgery, and medical big data are discussed.
