New era of robotic surgery: first case in Spain of right hemicolectomy on Hugo RAS surgical platform.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06512480 (Implementation in Colorectal Surgery of a New Modular and Open Robotic Platform.Pilot Project.), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
We describe the first robot-assisted right hemicolectomy performed in Spain using the new Hugo RAS (robotic-assisted surgery) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA). No conversion was registered, and no intraoperative complications or technical failures of the system were recorded. The operative time was 200 min, the docking time was 5 min and the length of the hospital stay was 8 days. We conclude that a right hemicolectomy using the Hugo RAS system is safe and feasible. Our earlier experience provides important skills for those who are starting to use this new robotic system.
