Training and education of operating room nurses in robot-assisted surgery: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Surgical endoscopy, 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
backgroundWith the introduction of robot-assisted surgery, the role and responsibility of the operating room nurses have been expanded. The surgical team for robotic-assisted surgery depends on the ability of the operating room nurses to operate and handle the robotic system before, during, and after procedures. However, operating room nurses must acquire the necessary competencies for robotic-assisted surgery.
methodWe performed a systematic review using the databases MEDLINE and EMBASE to review the evidence on educating and training operating room nurses in robot-assisted surgery. Studies describing operating room nurses' training and team-training with operating room nurses for robot-assisted surgery were included. The Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale-Education (NOS-E) were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies.
resultsWe identified 3351 potential studies and included 16 in the final synthesis. Nine studies focused on team-training in robot-assisted surgery: four focused solely on training for operating room nurses, and only three on operating room nurses as first assistants in robot-assisted surgery. Most studies examined team-training in RAS, including OR nurses, focused on emergency situations and conversion to an open procedure. Only a few studies addressed other competencies relevant to OR nurses in RAS. No randomized controlled trials were identified. Only a few studies used pre- and post-testing, and only one examined clinical outcomes. The quality assessment of the included studies was moderate to low, with a median MERSQI score of 10.3 and a median NOS-E score of 2.
conclusionThere is sparse research on the education of operating room nurses in robot-assisted surgery, and the literature emphasizes the training of surgeons. More research is needed to develop evidence-based training for operating room nurses in robot-assisted surgery.
