Image-Guided Robotic Surgery for Sentinel Lymph Node Status Assessment in Uterine Cancers Using Ultrasound Drop-in Probe: Surgical Technique in 10 Steps.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06621823 (Image-guided Ultrasound Robotic Intraoperative Evaluation of Lymph-nodes Status in Gynecological Malignancies), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
introductionRecent guidelines recommend the sentinel lymph node (SLN) technique in uterine cancers, as it is associated with lower perioperative complications. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Arietta L43K (2-12 MHz, Hitachi, Japan) drop-in robotic ultrasound probe was used to assist with SLN dissection. The procedure was performed on the da Vinci Xi platform. The probe, introduced through an accessory trocar, was manipulated by robotic instruments, providing real-time ultrasound imaging in split-view mode on the surgeon's console. Ultrasound images, captured by the surgeon under the guidance of an experienced ultrasound examiner, were analyzed both in vivo and ex vivo.
conclusionsAlthough its accuracy compared with histology as the gold standard is yet to be demonstrated, image-guided robotic lymph node ultrasound is a feasible and promising procedure for real-time SLN assessment. A prospective study is ongoing (R-LYNUS, NCT06621823) to clinically validate this technique.
