Safety and functional outcomes of Versius surgical platform in prostate cancer radical prostatectomy: a single arm meta-analysis.
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 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aims to comprehensively assess the clinical performance of the Versius robotic platform in the context of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), focusing on its safety profile, practicality, and postoperative functional recovery, in order to support its integration into urologic cancer management. An extensive literature search was performed using databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications up to December 2024. The eligible studies were those reporting on perioperative metrics or functional outcomes associated with Versius-assisted RARP. Data extraction and synthesis were carried out under a single-arm meta-analytic framework. The aggregated measures such as operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospitalization, complication frequency, positive surgical margin (PSM) rate, and continence outcomes were calculated using Stata 18 SE. The study heterogeneity was quantified via the I
