Transition from da Vinci to Versius robotic surgical system: initial experience and outcomes of over 100 consecutive procedures.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 7 of them syntheses 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
We sought to describe the development of the robotic urology program at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) and the feasibility of transitioning from the da Vinci to Versius robotic systems. The SIUT robotics program began in 2017 utilizing the da Vinci Si robotic system, transitioning to the Versius system in 2021. Retrospective review of our quality assurance database was performed. All procedures performed utilizing the two systems were identified, analyzed, and compared. Data were described with descriptive statistics. Matched procedures (by type of procedure) performed by the same surgeons utilizing the da Vinci and Versius were compared. All tests were double-sided with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.106 cases were performed by the Versius robotic surgical system in 2021. Median age was 42 years (IQR 26-56), and 69 (65%) were males. Procedures included both benign (83%) and malignant disorders (17%), several upper tract (75%), and pelvic/lower tract (25%). No major intraoperative complications were observed. Conversion to open occurred in six procedures. Malfunction of the robotic arms occurred in two procedures: the erroneous bedside units (BSU) were replaced. Eight patients developed postoperative high-grade complications. Matched analysis of various procedures (pyeloplasty, stone surgery, radical, partial, and simple nephrectomy) showed no significant difference in perioperative outcomes. To our knowledge, this is the first and largest series of urologic procedures performed by the Versius robotic surgical system.
