Robot-assisted resection of choledochal cyst in children.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: The emergence of the robotic surgery system has assisted the further development of minimally invasive surgery by facilitating more delicate and precise complex procedures. The purpose of this study was to present a study of robot-assisted resection of the choledochal cyst and to discuss the technical points. Methods: In total, 133 patients who were diagnosed with a choledochal cyst and underwent surgery from April 2020 to February 2022 in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, were retrospectively analyzed. The data were collected including the clinical information of the patients, operative details, and postoperative outcomes. Results: Among these 133 patients, 99 underwent robot-assisted surgery and 34 underwent laparoscopic assisted surgery. The median operation time was 180 min, with an interquartile range (IQR) of 170-210 min for the robot-assisted group and 180 min with an IQR of 157.5-220 min in the laparoscopic assisted group ( Conclusions: Robot-assisted resection of choledochal cyst is safe and feasible, it is ideal for the patient requiring a meticulous operation, and its postoperative recovery was shorter than for traditional laparoscopy.
