Initial experience of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy with Hugo™ RAS system: implications for surgical setting.

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
purposeHugo™ RAS system is one of the most promising new robotic platforms introduced in the field of urology. To date, no data have been provided on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed with Hugo™ RAS system. The aim of the study is to describe the setting and report the performance of the first series of RAPN performed with Hugo™ RAS system.
methodsTen consecutive patients who underwent RAPN at our Institution between February and December 2022 were prospectively enrolled. All RAPN were performed transperitoneally with a modular four-arm configuration. The main outcome was to describe the operative room setting, trocar placement and the performance of this novel robotic platform. Pre, intra and post-operative, variables were recorded. A descriptive analysis was performed.
resultsSeven patients underwent RAPN for right-side and three for left-side masses. Median tumor size and PADUA score were 3 (2.2-3.7) cm and 9 (8-9), respectively. Median docking and console time were 9.5 (9-14) and 138 (124-162) minutes, respectively. Median warm ischemia time was 13 (10-14) minutes, and one case was performed clamp-less. Median estimated blood loss was 90 (75-100) mL. One major complication (Clavien-Dindo 3a) occurred. No case of positive surgical margin was recorded.
conclusionThis is the first series to prove the feasibility of Hugo™ RAS system in the setting of RAPN. These preliminary results may help new adopters of this surgical platform to identify critical steps of robotic surgery with this platform and explore solutions before in-vivo surgery.
