1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Surgeons are highly exposed to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The objective of this review was to summarize the WMSD prevalence by body area with and without assistive devices. The underlying question was whether there is an effect of assistive device use (robot, video, or other) during surgery on WMSD prevalence by body area among surgeons, regardless of their specialty. The systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. The Google Scholar, Pubmed/Medline, and ScienceDirect databases were scanned to identify relevant studies. The article selection, review, critical appraisal, and data extraction were performed by two authors independently. Among the 34,854 unique identified records, 77 studies were included. They were divided into two groups: 35 focused on robotic- and video-assisted surgery (RVAS) and 48 concerning surgery without video/robotic assistance (WAS) (6 studies evaluated the prevalence for both groups). WMSD prevalence was reported for 13 body areas: the neck, back, upper back, mid-back, lower back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, thumbs, hips, knees, and ankles. The results showed that WMSD prevalence was significantly higher (unpaired
