Initial experience with a novel robotic surgical system in abdominal surgery.
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 15 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
The emergence of robotics in surgery has led to a recent boom in the acceptance of such technology. This technology has been rapidly adopted in various fields, with the most prominent being general surgery. The number of abdominal procedures being performed using robotics has increased to around 15.1% as potential advantages continue to be highlighted. We herein report the use of the Versius surgical robotic system for use in common abdominal procedures. Three experienced robotic surgeons first gained experience and became familiar with the robotic system through both online modules and cadaveric training sessions. The initial cases performed using the Versius robotic system at a single center were included in this study. Data reported included demographics as well as perioperative data. Fifty-five procedures were performed using the Versius robotic system. Procedures included various hernia repairs (n = 30), gallbladder surgery (n = 22), as well as appendix surgery (n = 3). Appendectomy had the fastest OR times at 35.81 ± 21.84, while the slowest OR times were seen in the BIH group with an average time of 95.2 ± 24. No complications or conversions were observed throughout this entire series. This is the first report to demonstrate the usage of the Versius robotic surgical system for use in abdominal surgery. Our initial data confirm that regardless of patient demographics, the system is safe to use in such procedures; however, further larger scale studies are required to assess its clinical utility.
