1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 objective is to compare the feasibility, safety, and complications of the novel robot-assisted system Hugo™ RAS to the established Intuitive da Vinci Xi system in different gynecologic surgeries. This is a retrospective and propensity score-matching study conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital. The participants were women with various indications for gynecologic surgery who underwent robotic procedures. The results of our first 40 cases of gynecologic procedures performed with Hugo™ RAS were compared to those of a 1:3 propensity-matched cohort using the da Vinci Xi system. Length of hospital stay, blood loss, surgical time, console time, and perioperative complications were the main outcome measures. There were no differences in the length of hospital stay, blood loss, and complication rates between the novel Hugo™ RAS and da Vinci Xi system in different gynecologic procedures. However, the surgical time was longer with Hugo™ RAS in the staging of endometrial cancer. The Hugo™ RAS is a feasible and safe robotic platform for different indications in gynecologic surgery.
