Validation of a surgical workspace scale during robot-assisted surgery.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundA sufficient surgical workspace is crucial to avoid complications. Within classic laparoscopy, many subjective surgical rating scales (SRSs) have previously been used to evaluate the surgical workspace. This study aimed to validate a modified version of the 5-point SRS during robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN).
methodsThirty-two intra-operative videos of intraperitoneal spaces were recorded from eight patients who underwent RARN. To attain the visualisation of different types of workspaces, we recorded 20 s panoramic videos of different pneumoperitoneum, namely 3, 5, 7 and 12 mmHg. The videos were randomised and presented two times to eight experienced robotic surgeons to evaluate the workspace using our modified 5-point SRS. Both inter-and intra-rater reliabilities were tested.
resultsThe results of the validation study showed moderate inter-rater and good to excellent intra-rater reliability.
conclusionThis is a valid tool that can be confidently used by future researchers in the field of robot-assisted surgery.
