First worldwide report on Hugo RAS™ surgical platform in right and left colectomy.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06512480 (Implementation in Colorectal Surgery of a New Modular and Open Robotic Platform.Pilot Project.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The diffusion of robotic surgery is rapidly and constantly growing in different surgical specialties. Recently, novel robotic platforms have entered into the market. To date, however, most of the reports on their clinical use have specifically focused on gynecological and urological surgery. In this study, we present the first three robotic-assisted colectomies performed with the new Hugo RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). The surgical team had previous robotic experience and completed simulation training and an official 2-day cadaver laboratory session. Operating room setting and trocar layout were planned and two full cadaver procedures were carried out (right and left colectomy). Onsite dry-run sessions were performed before tackling clinical cases. Three patients underwent robotic-assisted colectomies: one left colectomy, two right colectomies with complete mesocolic excision (CME) and high vascular ligation (HVL) at our Institution. Preoperative diagnosis was colonic adenocarcinoma in all cases. A description of the operative room setup, robotic arm configuration and docking angles is provided. Mean docking time and console time were 8 and 259 min, respectively. All the surgical steps were completed without critical surgical errors or high-priority alarms. Neither intraoperative complications nor conversions to open surgery were recorded. Postoperative courses were uneventful with a mean length of stay of 5 days. Further clinical data and experience are required for procedural standardization and potential integration of the system into robotic general surgery and colorectal programs.
