Robotic single-port surgery: Preliminary experience in general surgery.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06681831 (Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Robotic Single-Port Hysterectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
backgroundWe aim to analyse the safety and feasibility of the DaVinci Single Port (SP) platform in general surgery.
methodsA prospective series of robotic SP transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repairs (SP-TAPP) and cholecystectomies (SP-C) (off-label) were analysed. Primary endpoints were safety and feasibility defined by the need for conversion and incidence of perioperative complications.
resultsA total of 225 SP procedures were performed; 84 (37.3%) SP-TAPP (70 unilateral, 7 bilateral), and 141 (62.7%) SP-C. There were no conversions or additional ports placed. Mean console time was 17.6, 31.9, and 54 min for SP-C, unilateral, and bilateral SP-TAPP, respectively. There was no mortality, intraoperative or major postoperative complications. Mean LOS was 2.7 h for elective SP-TAPP and 2.3 h for SP-C.
conclusionRobotic SP surgery is safe and feasible for two of the most performed general surgery operations. Further experience might allow expanding the applications of robotic single-incision surgery for other procedures.
