Robotic microsurgery for pediatric peripheral nerve surgery.
Article 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 2 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
The technology of microsurgical robotic systems has shown potential benefit during the last decade for a variety of microsurgical procedures, such as vascular anastomoses, lymphatic anastomoses or nerve coaptation. At the same time, peripheral nerve surgery has produced ever more sophisticated nerve transfers in which the smallest nerve structures are connected to each other. Following obstetric brachial plexus injuries, nerve reconstruction surgery is often required in the first few years of life in order to improve the function of the affected arm, including nerve transfers to denervated muscles, which enable reinnervation of target muscles. In pediatric patients, these donor-nerve structures are even smaller than in adults, which further increases the demands to the microsurgeon. In this publication, we show the possible applications, capabilities and limitations of a dedicated microsurgical robotic system for nerve transfers in pediatric patients.
