ReviewSurgical endoscopy2015
A state of the art review and categorization of multi-branched instruments for NOTES and SILS.
Review in Surgical endoscopy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundSince the advent of Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), a variety of multitasking platforms have been under development with the objective to allow for bimanual surgical tasks to be performed. These instruments show large differences in construction, enabled degrees of freedom (DOF), and control aspects.
methodsThrough a literature review, the absence of an in-depth analysis and structural comparison of these instruments in the literature is addressed. All the designed and prototyped multitasking platforms are identified and categorized with respect to their actively controlled DOF in their shafts and branches. Additionally, a graphical overview of patents, bench test experiments, and animal and/or human trials performed with each instrument is provided.
resultsThe large range of instruments, various actuation strategies, and different direct and indirect control methods implemented in the instruments show that an optimal instrument configuration has not been found yet. Moreover, several questions remain unanswered with respect to which DOF are essential for bimanual tasks and which control methods are best suited for the control of these DOF.
conclusionsConsidering the complexity of the currently prototyped and tested instruments, future NOTES and SILS instrument development will potentially necessitate a reduction of the available DOF to minimize the control complexity, thereby allowing for single surgeon bimanual task execution.
