Review 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 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most revolutionary changes in modern history. The combination of AI and Robotic surgery can be used positively for better patient outcomes. METHODS AND

resultsWe aimed to conduct a review of AI and its role in robotic radical prostatectomy in modern day surgical practice. We conducted a literature review on this topic with specific discussion about whether the surgeon can be replaced by robots with AI capabilities based on latest studies available in the literature. We have presented a comprehensive overview of AI in robotic surgery.

conclusionWe conclude that AI capabilities are to assist the surgeon and the team to improve patient outcomes. Robots cannot replace the surgeon in the near future. Robots with AI capabilities can be only used as an adjuvant to complement the surgical team and not replace them.
