Robot-Assisted Surgery: Current Applications and Future Trends in General Surgery.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Advancements in digital equipment have been applied to treating complex medical cases. However, the literature has not comprehensively reported these applications, and the outcomes of conventional surgeries have not been compared with robot-assisted surgeries to determine efficacy. Therefore, this literature review aimed to find and compare outcomes. According to existing literature, robot-assisted surgery has brought significant changes to various aspects of general surgical practice. The research outcomes have shown that robotic surgery minimizes surgical invasiveness by enabling smaller incisions, reducing blood loss, and accelerating patient recovery. The da Vinci Surgical System has shown enhanced surgical accuracy due to better control when operating in complex cases such as colorectal resections, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and hernia repairs. The use of robotic systems enables surgeons to remain comfortable while performing complex procedures because the system allows them to maintain ergonomic body positions. Robotic systems lead to better clinical outcomes for patients, such as rapid hospital discharge, fewer complications, and faster recovery times. The advantages of robotic surgery will become more apparent once technical challenges regarding costs, learning curves, and haptic feedback are fully addressed.
