Safety and feasibility of robot-assisted surgery for pediatric patients weighing ≤ 10 kg with congenital biliary dilatation.
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 6 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
The advantage of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is its ability to perform fine surgical operations with higher-resolution images. RAS should be particularly beneficial for small children, but it requires a certain amount of working space. The da Vinci Surgical System instructions state that careful consideration of indications for robotic surgery in patients weighing ≤ 10 kg is required. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of RAS in pediatric patients weighing ≤ 10 kg with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). Pediatric patients who underwent surgery for CBD at our institution were included. Patients were divided into three groups: the ≤ 10 kg group (RS-S) and the > 10 kg group (RS-L), both of which underwent robotic surgery, and another ≤ 10 kg group (LS-S), which underwent laparoscopic surgery. No patient required conversion to laparotomy. The operative duration was significantly shorter in the RS-S group than in the RS-L group. Intraoperative bleeding and length of hospital stay did not differ significantly between the RS-S and RS-L groups. Postoperative drain removal and hospital stay were shorter in the RS-S group than in the LS-S group. Our findings suggest that RAS can be safely and precisely implemented for infants weighing ≤ 10 kg.
