[New techniques and training methods for robot-assisted surgery and cost-benefit analysis of Ivor Lewis esophagectomy].
Synthesis in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionRobotic surgery was introduced into general surgery more than 20 years ago. Shortly afterwards, Horgan performed the first robotic-assisted esophagectomy in 2003 in Chicago. The aim of this manuscript is to elucidate new developments and training methods in robotic surgery with a cost-benefit analysis for robotic-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.
methodsSystematic literature search regarding new technology and training methods for robotic surgery and cost analysis of intraoperative materials for hybrid and robotic-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.
resultsRobotic-assisted esophageal surgery is complex and involves an extensive learning curve, which can be shortened with modern teaching methods. New robotic systems aim at the use of image-guided surgery and artificial intelligence. Robotic-assisted surgery of esophageal cancer is significantly more expensive that surgery without this technology.
conclusionOncological short-term and long-term benefits need to be further evaluated to support the higher cost of robotic esophageal cancer surgery.
