A Narrative Review of the Evolving Role of Robotic Surgery in Pediatrics: Innovations and Future Prospects.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Robot surgery has significantly improved surgical interventions for pediatric patients by enhancing surgical precision, minimizing complications, and improving overall patient outcomes. Over the past few years, substantial advancements in technology and surgical techniques have facilitated the widespread adoption of robotic systems in pediatric surgical procedures across multiple specialties. These encompass specialties such as pediatric urology, general surgery, thoracic surgery, and oncology, contributing to its adoption and widespread implementation in clinical practice. The integration of robotic platforms has enabled surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater dexterity, improved visualization, and enhanced control. This comprehensive review aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the evolution of robotic surgery, its current applications in pediatric surgery, its advantages over conventional surgical techniques, and the potential limitations and challenges associated with its usage and generalization in clinical practice.
