Subjective workload measurement of the transition from a conventional operative microscope to a Robotic Digital Microscope. A pilot study.
Article in Brain & spine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
•Evaluate the subjective workload for transition of an experienced neurosurgeon from a conventional operative microscope /OPMI/ to a Robotic Digital Microscope /RDM/.•Show a single center initial experience of the use an exoscope.•The exoscope improves ergonomics.•Operative exoscope could reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
