Robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation in children: a valuable alternative to open surgery.
Review in World journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
introductionRobot-assisted laparoscopic surgical systems have led to new minimally invasive options for complex reconstructive procedures in children including for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation has been shown to be a viable minimally invasive surgical option for children with VUR. However, higher-than-expected complication rates and sub-optimal reflux resolution rates at some centers have also been reported.
methodsThis article provides a focused literature review as well as current perspectives on open reimplantation and robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation as non-endoscopic surgical options for pediatric VUR.
resultsThe heterogeneity of surgical outcomes may, in part, be due to the learning curve inherent with all new technology and procedures. As a result, the current gold standard surgical option for VUR continues to be open ureteral reimplantation. While it remains to be seen if robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery will gradually replace open surgery as the most utilized surgical option for VUR in pediatric patients, robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation with the current robotic surgical systems may be just one step toward an eventual minimally invasive option that all experienced surgeons can offer with the requisite high success rates and low major complication rates.
conclusionRobot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation remains a viable minimally invasive surgical option for children with VUR, but with the expected learning curve associated with all new technologies.
