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

In many surgical specialities, e.g., visceral surgery or urology, the use of robotic assistance is widely regarded as standard for many interventions. By contrast, in European otorhinolaryngology, robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is rarely conducted. This is because currently available robotic systems are not adequately adapted to the restricted space and partially difficult access to surgical fields in the head and neck area. Furthermore, RAS is associated with high costs at present. In some Anglo-American regions, robot-assisted surgery is already used regularly for different indications, particularly in transoral surgery of oropharyngeal tumors. Several feasibility studies demonstrate multiple fields of application for RAS in head and neck surgery. For standard use, the robotic systems and surgical instruments need to be reduced in size and adapted to application in the head and neck area.
