Fig. 3: Kaplan-Meier curves of disease-free survival for robotic and laparoscopic distal gastrectomies within 3 years after surgery by different pathologic T stage and N stage.

A patients with pT1 stage; B patients with pT2-4 stage; C patients with pN0 stage; D patients with pN+ stage. p-values for all survival analyses have been calculated using the log-rank test. The shadows on either side of the survival curves indicate 95% confidence intervals. Adjusted p value was calculated using Benjamini–Hochberg method. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
