The learning curve of total robotic jejunojejunostomy during choledochal cyst excision in pediatrics: a retrospective study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWe conducted this retrospective study to investigate the characteristics of the learning curve of total robotic jejunojejunostomy during choledochal cyst excision in pediatrics.
methodsThe study analyzed a database of medical records from the first 54 consecutive patients who underwent total robotic jejunojejunostomy during choledochal cyst excision by a single surgeon. Baseline information and postoperative outcomes were collected, and learning curves were assessed using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method. Patients were then divided into two groups (A and B) based on the learning curve's cut-off points, and the intraoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups.
resultsCUSUM plots revealed that the cut-off point of the learning curve was 17 cases. The operative time of jejunojejunostomy in group A was (61.71 ± 13.47 min), which was longer than that of group B (42.43 ± 2.97 min) (p < 0.0001). No statistically significant differences were found in terms of the intraoperative bleeding, time to start diet after surgery, hospital stay, and total complications between the two groups (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe learning curve for total robotic jejunojejunostomy during choledochal cyst excision in pediatrics is 17 cases, which can serve as the basis for performance guidance during future training.
