Above and Beyond Robotic Surgery and 3D Modelling in Paediatric Cancer Surgery.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although the survival rates for children's cancers have more than doubled in the last few decades, the surgical practise has not significantly changed. Among the most recent innovations introduced in the clinic, robotic surgery and augmented reality are two of the most promising, even if they are not widespread. The increased flexibility of the motion, the magnification of the surgical field and the tremor reduction provided by robotic surgery have been beneficial to perform complex oncological procedures in children. Besides, augmented reality has been proven helpful in planning for tumour removal, facilitating early discrimination between cancer and healthy organs. Nowadays, research in the field of surgical oncology is moving fast, and new technologies and innovations wich will help to shape a new way to perform cancer surgery. Paediatric surgeons need to be ready to adopt these novel devices and intraoperative techniques to allow more radical tumour resections with fewer complications. This review aims to present the mechanism of action and indications of several novel technologies such as optical imaging surgery, high definition cameras, and intraoperative loco-regional treatments. We hope this will enhance early adoption and more research on how to employ technology for the benefit of children.
