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

introductionThis study aimed to compare the outcomes of Versius Robotic System-assisted cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy for benign gall bladder pathologies, focusing on the perioperative and post-operative parameters. PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients with Versius Robotic System-assisted (Group VRS) or conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Group LAP) between September 2021 and June 2023. Patient demographics, perioperative (operative time, conversion and intraoperative complications) details, post-operative pain management and complications were analysed.

resultsThe study included 44 and 58 patients in Groups VRS and LAP. In Group VRS, we detected significantly reduced post-operative pain ( P = 0.009), lower opioid use ( P = 0.009) and shorter hospital stays ( P = 0.029) than in Group LAP. Total operative time was longer in Group VRS ( P < 0.001). No intraoperative complications or conversions occurred in either group.

conclusionVersius Robotic System-assisted cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible approach for benign gall bladder pathologies, offering benefits such as reduced post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays.
