A narrative review of the Medtronic Hugo RAS and technical comparison with the Intuitive da Vinci robotic surgical system.
Review in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Medtronic launched the Hugo Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System in 2021, offering a modular alternative to the incumbent market leader in surgical robotics, the Intuitive da Vinci (dV) surgical system. A detailed technical review of the Hugo RAS was conducted to explore the strengths and weaknesses of this new robotic surgical system. Each component of the system-vision tower, arm cart, and surgeon console-was compared against the existing dV systems. The docking process, instrumentation, and external arm movement trajectories were analyzed. The modular Hugo RAS provides the possibility of operating using up to four arm carts. It has certain design features that are unique to itself, and others that have been implemented to address the shortcomings of the dV Si. While Medtronic's first-generation robot offers distinct advantages over the older Intuitive systems, the true test of its mettle will be its performance compared to the latest dV Xi.
