Robot-assisted cholecystectomy with the new HUGO™ robotic-assisted system: first worldwide report with system description, docking settings, and video.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Robotic surgery has gained worldwide acceptance in the past decade, and several studies have shown that this technique is safe and feasible. The innovation of this system is the open surgical console with an HD-3D display, a system tower, and four independent arm carts. We describe the first robot-assisted cholecystectomy performed with the new Hugo RAS (robotic-assisted surgery) system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in Spain. The procedure was completed without conversion. No intraoperative complication or technical failure of the system was recorded. The operative time was 70 min. The docking time was 3 min. Hospital length of stay was 1 days. This case report shows the safety and feasibility of cholecystectomy with the Hugo RAS system and provides relevant data that may be of help to early adopters of this surgical platform.
