Initial experience with a dual-console robotic-assisted platform for training in colorectal surgery.

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
backgroundMinimally invasive surgery is associated with several patient-related benefits, including reduced length of hospital stay and reduced blood loss. Robotic-assisted surgery offers many advantages when compared with standard laparoscopic procedures, including a stable three-dimensional binocular camera platform, motion smoothing and motion scaling, improved dexterity and ergonomics. There are limited data on the effectiveness of the dual-console DaVinci Xi platform for teaching resident surgeons. The goal of this study was to examine preliminary outcomes following the introduction of a dual-console robotic platform in our institution.
methodsA retrospective review of our prospectively maintained patient database was performed. The first ten dual-console resident-performed procedures in colorectal surgery were compared with matched cases performed on a single console by the trainer. Patient demographics, operative times and patient outcomes were compared.
resultsTwenty patients were included in this study. There was no significant difference in console time (p = 0.46) or total operative time (p = 0.52) when residents and trainers were compared. Patient outcomes were equivalent, with no difference in length of stay, morbidity or mortality.
conclusionsThe DaVinci Xi dual-console platform is a safe and effective platform for training junior surgeons. The dual-console system has the potential to alter surgical training pathways.
