Revolutionising Breast Surgery: A Comprehensive Review of Robotic Innovations in Breast Surgery and Reconstruction.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07292246 (A Prospective CohorT Study of HandX - Assisted ENdoscopic MAstectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
Robotic innovations in breast surgery have ushered in a new era of precision, safety, and patient-centred care. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted realm of robotic breast surgery, from preoperative planning to postoperative outcomes, learning curves for surgeons, and the implications for healthcare policies. We examine the ethical considerations, cost-effectiveness, and future directions, including integrating artificial intelligence and telesurgery. Key findings reveal that robotic systems provide improved surgical precision, reduced complications, and enhanced patient satisfaction. Ethical concerns encompass informed consent, resource allocation, and equitable access. The future of breast surgery lies in continued research and development, ensuring that robotics becomes a standard of care accessible to all patients. This technology is reshaping breast surgery and offering new possibilities for minimally invasive, patient-centred care, ultimately redefining the standards of care in this critical field of medicine.
