Implementation of a Robotic Surgical Program With the Dexter Robotic Surgery System: Initial Experiences in Cholecystectomy.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe use of surgical robots in minimally invasive visceral surgery is increasing, with new platforms like the Dexter Robotic System. This study evaluated the implementation of Dexter in a general visceral surgery department, focusing on safety, performance, and surgeon stress in elective cholecystectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree surgeons with varying laparoscopic and robotic experience performed robotic cholecystectomies with Dexter between December 2022 and June 2024. Perioperative outcomes and safety data were collected until 30 days post-surgery. Surgeons' stress load and physical discomfort were assessed using validated questionnaires (SMEQ, STAI, and LED).
resultsFifty-nine patients underwent elective gallbladder removal. Median age was 52 years (range 27-85) and BMI 26.3 kg/m
conclusionThe Dexter system was safely implemented in clinical practice, with efficient learning curve and low perceived stress, even for surgeons without prior robotic experience. Further studies are needed to determine whether Dexter offers advantages over conventional techniques.
