Outcomes of single-port robotic ureteral reconstruction using the da Vinci SP
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 da Vinci SP MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween December 2018 and April 2022, a single surgeon performed robotic ureteral reconstruction using the SP system in 39 patients: 18 underwent pyeloplasty and 21 received ureteral reimplantation. Demographic and perioperative patient data were collected and analyzed. Radiographic and symptomatic improvements were assessed 3 months after surgery.
resultsIn pyeloplasty group, 12 patients (66.7%) were female and two patients (11.1%) had undergone previous surgery for ureteral obstruction. The median operative time was 152 minutes, the median blood loss was 8 mL, and the median length of stay in hospital was 3 days. There was one case of a complication involving postoperative percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN). In ureteral reimplantation group, 19 patients (90.5%) were female and ten patients (47.6%) had undergone gynecological surgery that caused ureteral obstruction. The median operative time was 152 minutes, the median blood loss was 10 mL, and the median length of stay in hospital was 4 days. We observed one case of open conversion and two cases of complications (colonic serosal tearing and postoperative PCN after ileal ureter replacement). The radiographic results and symptoms successfully improved following both surgeries.
conclusionsDespite adhesion-related complications, the SP system appears to be safe and effective for use in robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction.
