Robotic Platforms for Therapeutic Flexible Endoscopy: A Literature Review.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Flexible endoscopy, initially developed for diagnosis and tissue sampling, has been adapted for therapeutic interventions, leading to the emergence of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) in the 2000s. The need for a triangulation function to enhance the intuitiveness and safety of NOTES has prompted the development of dual-arm, flexible endoscopic robotic platforms. Although the global interest in NOTES has decreased in the last decade, no-scar surgery concepts are still being applied to other complex endoluminal interventions, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR), with ongoing research and development. The application of robotics in flexible endoscopy may facilitate the standardization of these procedures and expedite their global spread. Various robotic platforms have been developed and tested in the preclinical and clinical settings to demonstrate their efficacy and safety. In this article, we review the publications on technology and elucidate their advantages and existing challenges.
