Robotic Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 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
In general surgery, the use of robotic and laparoscopic methods has increased. Robotic surgery that requires the least incision has advanced over the years in a short period of time, benefitting both the patient and the surgeon. According to this, robotic platforms and tools are now being used and improved more commonly in general surgery. In a quickly growing and dynamic environment of research and development, the goal of this review is to explore the present and emerging surgical robotic technologies. Future progress in robotics will focus primarily on more durable haptic systems that would provide tactile and kinesthetic input, miniaturisation and micro-robotics, better visual feedback with higher fidelity detail and magnification, and autonomous robots. It is recommended to develop a structured training course with benchmarks for success and evidence-based training strategies. This usually includes a step-by-step progression starting with observation, case aid in programming and manipulation of surgical instruments, learning the basics of robotics in a dry and wet lab setting, attaining non-technical skills on an individual and team level, and monitored modular console training, accompanied by autonomous practice. Prior to independent practice, basic robotics skills and procedural activities must be performed safely and effectively as part of robotic surgical training. It is advised to create a systematic training programme with performance indicators and research-based instructional techniques.
