1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Little is known about how robot technology is employed by surgeons in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). We evaluated the needs of established robotic surgeons and of those who are new to this technology. A survey was designed and sent electronically to MIS surgeons. Questions included fellowship training, area of expertise, experience with robotic simulation and in clinical use, mentorship, likelihood of switching to a different approach, and expectations for the robot. Descriptive analysis was conducted using STATA/MP 15.1. 189 interviewees self-identified as hernia surgeons. 73.8% had additional fellowship, with majority practicing for 3-6 years (54%). Nearly 40% were MIS surgeons (N = 73), followed by general surgery (34.4%), and bariatrics (13.8%). 146 interviewees (77.7%) have used the daVinci
