Robotic Surgery Techniques to Improve Traditional Laparoscopy.
Review in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
Introduction: Laparoscopic instruments and techniques are constantly improving, as the ability to perform minimally invasive surgery is crucial in modern medicine. The progression from open surgery to minimally invasive surgery over the years eventually led to the use of robotic devices to either assist or completely replace patient-side surgery with a separate console. Though robotic surgery has been praised for its surgical outcomes, certain situations limit its use, such as cost-effectiveness or physical space constraints. The objectives of this review were to perform a search and discuss the trends in the literature. Methods: A literature search using keywords ((laparoscopic) OR (laparoscopy) OR (minimally invasive)) AND ((instrument) OR (instrumentation) OR (tool) OR (device) OR (apparatus)) AND ((advancement) OR (upgrade)) AND ((hysterectomy) OR (prostatectomy) OR (transoral) OR (cholecystectomy)) AND (robot) in PubMed, looking for trends in advancements or appeals for change. Results: This search provides a framework for these trends to facilitate discussion of ways in which laparoscopic surgery can be improved using the benefits of robotic surgical systems. This allows others to approach the successes of the current robotic systems for laparoscopic surgery with the intention of deriving advancements toward traditional laparoscopic surgery.
