Feasibility study to evaluate the MMI Symani robotic system for microsurgical techniques in an in-vitro circulation model.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 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
The Symani Surgical System is a novel robotic microsurgical platform. This study investigated its feasibility for arterial reconstructive techniques in an in vitro model. Two senior surgeons without preliminary expertise in robotic surgery performed different techniques in a porcine artery circulation model (bypass, patch plastic, and direct closure of arteriotomy). There was an overall improvement in procedure times with a minor leakage rate and upper range values in the qualitative assessment of anastomoses. In this model, the Symani Surgical System seems to be suitable for the robotic-assisted conductance of microsurgical procedures on arterial vessels.
