Efficacy of robot-assisted hepaticojejunostomy and laparoscopic-assisted hepaticojejunostomy in pediatric congenital choledochal dilatation: a system review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Pediatric surgery international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe efficacy of robot-assisted hepaticojejunostomy (RAHJ) and laparoscopic-assisted hepaticojejunostomy (LAHJ) in children with congenital choledochal dilatation has been a topic of much debate and controversy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of RAHJ and LAHJ in pediatric congenital choledochal dilatation.
methodThe review program has been prospectively registered (PROSPEROID: CRD42022306868). We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CBM, VIP, Web of Science, CNKI databases, and Wanfang databases from March 2021. The Mantel-Haenszel method and a random-effects model were used to figure out the hazard ratio (95% CI).
resultsTen studies evaluated eight hundred and sixty-nine subjects (three hundred and thirty-two in the robotic group and five hundred and thirty-seven in the laparoscopic group), meeting all inclusion criteria. Compared with the laparoscopic group, robotic group demonstrated fewer postoperative complications [p = 0.0009; OR = 0.34 (95% CI, 0.18-0.64); I
conclusionIn children with congenital choledochal dilatation, RAHJ is associated with reduced intraoperative bleeding, postoperative complications, and length of stay. Robotic surgery has a bright future in the treatment of pediatric common hepatic duct cysts and deserves to be promoted and popularized.
