Robot-assisted knee arthroplasty: Analyzing the learning curve and initial institutional experience.
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 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
Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) involves a learning curve for orthopedic surgeons. The aim of the present study was to assess the surgical times of rTKA procedures performed by initial stage and proficiency stage surgeons in comparison with times of conventional total knee arthroplasty (cTKA). The results reveal that the learning curve for rTKA varies considerable between surgeons, suggesting that the skill and aptitude of the individual to adapt to the robotic system play key roles in the learning process. Proficiency stage surgeons were able to reduce rTKA surgical times to levels comparable with those of conventional surgeries after performing approximately 30 to 40 robotic procedures. Ongoing research has shown promising outcomes in terms of improved clinical results and reduced complications following the application of advanced robotic technology to total knee arthroplasty.
