The First Single-Port Robotic-Assisted Excision of Choledochal Cyst and Hepaticojejunostomy in Children.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundCholedochal cysts are congenital anomalies requiring surgical intervention, typical excision and hepaticojejunostomy. The da Vinci single-port (SP) robotic system offers a minimally invasive approach with potential benefits for paediatric patients.
methodsThis study describes the SP robotic-assisted resection of choledochal cysts and hepaticojejunostomy in two paediatric patients. Surgical techniques, system description, and procedural outcomes were detailed.
resultsBoth surgeries were successfully completed with minimal blood loss and no intraoperative complications. Patients transitioned to a soft diet by postoperative day 3 and were discharged by day 6 without complications. Follow-up at 6 months showed normal sonography and laboratory findings.
conclusionsThe da Vinci SP system facilitated precise single-incision surgery with improved manoeuvrability and visualisation, demonstrating safety and feasibility for paediatric choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy. Further studies are warranted to confirm these findings across larger paediatric populations.
