A novel robotic system for single-port laparoscopic surgery: preliminary experience.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe concept of single-access procedures has gained greater attention from general surgeons during the past 5 years. Despite this wide momentum, these procedures pose several changes for the surgeon, such as impaired eye-hand coordination and restricted manipulation. In this context, robotic-assisted surgery represents a promising technology to enhance the dexterity of laparoscopic surgeons.
methodsA novel teleoperated robotic system for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) called SPRINT (Single-Port lapaRoscopy bImaNual roboT) has been developed. SPRINT is a master-slave robotic platform designed for bimanual interventions through a single-access port. The system is basically composed by two main arms having a maximum diameter of 18 mm and a stereoscopic-camera (Karl-Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany). The arms may be inserted into a cylindrical introducer that has a maximum diameter of 30 mm. The surgeon console is composed of two master manipulators, a foot-switch, and a 3D full-HD display.
resultsIn an animal study, a small-bowel enteroenterostomy and the ligation of a mesenteric vessel bundle have been performed. As preliminary experience, the system has been placed within the peritoneal cavity through an incision of approximately 10 cm: the robot has been suspended in an open fashion, due to some mechanical constraints of the current prototype. The procedures have been performed in an authorized laboratory on a female pig of approximately 50 Kg.
conclusionsTwo typical surgical maneuvers have been performed successfully with the SPRINT surgical platform: an intestinal anastomosis and a vessel ligation. Moreover, the speed, precision, and force with which the SPRINT robot executed the commands by the surgeon controlling the master console have been subjectively described as adequate to the tasks. Based on this preliminary demonstration, bimanual robot solutions, such as the SPRINT robot, may offer more dexterity and precision to single-port techniques in the next future.
