Robotic mitral valve surgery: a review and tips for safely negotiating the learning curve.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Totally endoscopic robotic mitral valve repair represents the least invasive surgical therapy for mitral valve disease. Comparative results for robotic mitral valve surgery against sternotomy are impressive, repeatedly demonstrating shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal activities, less morbidity and equivalent mortality and mid-term durability. We lack data comparing robotic approaches to totally endoscopic minimally invasive mitral valve surgery using 3D vision platforms. In this review, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of robotic mitral valve surgery and share technical tips that we have learned to help teams embarking on their robotic journey. We consider factors necessary for the successful implementation of a robotic programme including the importance of training a dedicated team, with the common goal to avoid any compromise in either patient safety or repair quality during the learning curve. As experience grows with robotic techniques and more cardiac surgeons become proficient with this innovative technology, the volume of robotic cardiac procedures around the world will increase helped by the introduction of new robotic systems and patient demand. Well informed patients will increasingly seek out the opportunity of robotic valve reconstruction in reference centres in the hands of a few highly experienced robotic surgeons.
