Remote teaching system for robotic surgery and its validation: results of a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundCurrently, only a limited number of remote assistance modalities are utilized in the basic phase of robotic surgery training to facilitate the rapid acquisition of robotic surgery skills by surgeons. This study aimed to investigate the benefits of real-time remote surgical robotic skill training based on a multi-channel video recording and playback system.
methodsWe randomly divided 40 medical students without prior expertise in the use of surgical robots into two groups to assess the performance of trainees on a robotic simulator (Mimic dV-Trainer). The remote group received remote training, while the control group received live one-on-one guidance. We compared the learning curves of the two groups based on simulator scores. Furthermore, the NASA task load index (NASA-TLX) scale was used to measure the fatigue load of the trainers.
resultsWe observed no significant differences in the demographics or initial baseline skill levels between the two groups. Participants in the remote group achieved higher total scores in the Match Board 2 and Thread the Rings 1 exercises compared to the control group. In addition, trainers in the remote group reported lower subjective fatigue load than in the control group.
conclusionsThe remote approach to surgical robotics skills training based on the Remote Teaching System for Robotic Surgery (ReTeRoS) is both feasible and has the potential for large-scale training.
