The use of robotic single site system in pediatric surgery: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Robotic surgery represents a groundbreaking advancement in modern surgery, offering precision, enhanced visualization, and reduced invasiveness. Robotic single-site surgery (RSSS), utilizing a single incision for access, combines these benefits with improved cosmetic outcomes, making it particularly appealing for pediatric patients. This systematic review evaluates the feasibility, clinical outcomes, and procedural details of RSSS in children.A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines, with searches across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Library up to June 2024. Studies reporting on RSSS in pediatric patients were included, focusing on demographics, surgical details and outcomes such as conversion rate, blood loss, complications, reoperations, and hospital stay. Data extraction and quality assessment were independently conducted by reviewers using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Seventeen studies with 322 pediatric patients were included. Procedures performed included cholecystectomy (54.7%), pyeloplasty (23.6%), choledochal cyst resection (7.4%), ureteral reimplantation (7.8%), and inguinal hernia repair (6.5%). The overall complication rate was 6% (minor complications, Clavien-Madadi grade I), with a conversion rate of 0.3% and no reoperations reported. Mean operative times varied by procedure, with minimal blood loss and short hospital stays.RSSS is a feasible and safe technique in pediatric surgery, demonstrating low complication and conversion rates. While it offers significant benefits in precision and cosmetic outcomes, further research is essential to optimize its application in pediatric surgical practice.
