Evaluation of the Versius Robotic Surgical System for Procedures in Small Cavities.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThe Versius
methodsIn total, 8 cardboard boxes of decreasing volumes (15.75 L to 106 mL) were used. The procedures, two single stitches with two square knots each, were performed in every box, starting in the largest and consecutively exchanging the box to the next smaller one. The evaluation included procedure time, port placement and pivot point setup, arrangement of the robotic arms and instrumentation, amount of internal and external instrument-instrument collisions and instrument-box collisions.
resultsAll procedures could be successfully performed in all boxes. The procedure time decreased due to the learning curve in the first four boxes (15.75 to 1.87 L) and consecutively increased from boxes of 1.22 L up to the smallest box with the dimensions of 4.4 × 4.9 × 4.9 cm
