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

backgroundThe rise of robotics in orthopaedic training, driven by the demand for better training outcomes and patient care, presents specific challenges for junior trainees due to its novelty and steep learning curve. This paper explores how orthopaedic trainees perceive and adopt robotic-assisted lower limb arthroplasty.

methodsThe study utilised the UTUAT model questionnaire as the primary data collection tool, employing targeted questions on a five-point Likert scale to efficiently gather responses from a large number of participants. Data analysis was conducted using partial least squares (PLS), a well-established method in previous technology acceptance research.

resultThe findings indicate a favourable attitude amongst trainees towards adopting robotic technology in orthopaedic training. They acknowledge the potential advantages of improved surgical precision and patient outcomes through roboticassisted procedures. Social factors, including the views of peers and mentors, notably influence trainees' decision-making. However, the availability of resources and expert mentors did not appear to have a significant impact on trainees' intention to use robotic technology.

conclusionThe study contributes to the understanding of factors influencing trainees' interest in robotic surgery and emphasises the importance of creating a supportive environment for its adoption.
