Orthopedic surgical robotic systems in knee arthroplasty: a comprehensive review.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
In conjunction with the accelerated evolution of robotics, the advancement of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical systems is occurring at a similarly accelerated pace, and is becoming increasingly accepted. It is employed in numerous surgical specialties, including orthopedics, and has significantly transformed traditional surgical techniques. Among these applications, knee arthroplasty represents one of the most prevalent and efficacious procedures within the domain of robot-assisted orthopedic surgery. The implementation of surgical robotic systems has the potential to enhance the precision and accuracy of surgical outcomes, facilitate reproducibility, reduce technical variability, mitigate patient discomfort, and accelerate recovery. In this paper, a literature review of the Web of Science and PubMed databases was conducted to search for all articles on orthopedic surgical robotics through November 2024. It mainly summarizes the most commonly used and widely accepted robotic systems in the field of orthopedic surgery, with a particular focus on their application in knee arthroplasty procedures. Orthopedic robotic systems can be classified into three principal categories: autonomous robotic systems, semi-autonomous robotic systems, and teleoperated robotic systems. In the context of knee arthroplasty, the characteristics of different robotic systems are examined in relation to three types of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) and Patellofemoral Arthroplasty (PFA). In conclusion, the current state of orthopedic surgical robotics is reviewed, and future development prospects and challenges are proposed.
