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
backgroundNew platforms for robotic surgery have recently become available for clinical use; however, information on the introduction of new surgical robotic platforms compared with the da Vinci™ surgical system is lacking. In this study, we retrospectively determined the safe introduction of the new "hinotori™" surgical robot in an institution with established da Vinci surgery using four representative digestive organ operations.
methodsSixty-one patients underwent robotic esophageal, gastric, rectal, and pancreatic operations using the hinotori system in our department in 2023. Among these, 22 patients with McKeown esophagectomy, 12 with distal gastrectomy, 11 with high- and low-anterior resection of the rectum, and eight with distal pancreatectomy procedures performed by hinotori were compared with historical controls treated using da Vinci surgery.
resultsThe console (cockpit) operation time for distal gastrectomy and rectal surgery was shorter in the hinotori group compared with the da Vinci procedure, and there were no significant differences in the console times for the other two operations. Other surgical results were almost similar between the two robot surgical groups. Notably, the console times for hinotori surgeries showed no significant learning curves, determined by the cumulative sum method, for any of the operations, with similar values to the late phase of da Vinci surgery.
conclusionsThis study suggests that no additional learning curve might be required to achieve proficient surgical outcomes using the new hinotori surgical robotic platform, compared with the established da Vinci surgery.
