Robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract tumor: initial experience with the use of novel surgical robot system, hinotori.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: The hinotori surgical robot system is a promising robotic platform that has been recently introduced into routine clinical practice. The aim of this study was to report our initial experience of robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RANU) using hinotori. Methods: This study included a total of eight patients with upper urinary tract tumor (UUTT) who underwent RANU using hinotori via the transperitoneal approach. In this series, nephrectomy was initially performed at the kidney direction stage followed by distal ureterectomy and bladder cuff excision at the bladder direction stage without repositioning of patient or port. Lymphadenectomy was performed at either stage. Results: Median age, body mass index, and tumor diameter were 76 years, 21.7 kg/m Conclusions: Despite being a small case series, this is the first study characterizing RANU using the hinotori surgical robot system. RANU was efficaciously and safely performed, resulting in the achievement of favorable perioperative findings.
