Further Validating the Robotic Microsurgery Platform through Preclinical Studies on Rat Femoral Artery and Vein.
Article in Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
This research aims to validate the proficiency and accuracy of the robotic microsurgery platform using rat femoral vessel model.A total of 256 rat femoral vessels were performed, half using robotic and the other by manual microanastomosis by eight microsurgeons with less than 5 years of experience given eight trials (rats) each. Vessel demographics, proficiency (duration of suture and Structured Assessment of Robotic Microsurgical Skills [SARMS]), and accuracy (patency and scanning electron microscopic [SEM]) were analyzed between the two groups.Using the robot, an average of four trials was needed to reach a plateau in total anastomosis time and patency. Significant more time was required for each vessel anastomosis (34.33 vs. 21.63 minutes on the eighth trial,
