Surgery utilizing artificial intelligence technology: why we should not rule it out.
Review in Surgery today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Recent advances in optical and robotic technologies have given surgeons high-definition eyes and precision hands that perform beyond human capabilities. This has expanded the scope of minimally invasive surgery and increased opportunities for surgery in high-risk situations; however, absolute surgical safety has not yet been achieved. Deficiencies in human performance are associated with surgical adverse events and advanced surgery places stress on surgeons and affect their concentration, causing not only novice surgeons with limited experience, but even skilled surgeons, to make misrecognition and decision-making errors. Therefore, the issue of "surgical comfort" for surgeons cannot be ignored. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI), which is designed to mimic the function of the human brain, has been developed in various fields to assist humans. Computer vision, a visual assistive technology that uses AI, is being applied to surgery and will become available in the near future. AI-controlled robots cannot be expected to replace surgeons, because surgeons operate with higher brain functions that integrate all their abilities, including the senses of humanity, mission, and ethics. However, if there is a way to reduce the mental and physical burden on surgeons by utilizing AI technology, then it should not be ruled out.
