Laparoscopic surgical robotics (1999-2023): a bibliometric exploration of technological evolution and research frontiers.
Article 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
Advancements in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery have significantly propelled research development. This study employs bibliometric and visualization techniques to examine the current landscape and emerging trends in this field. Utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection, this study extracted publications on robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery up to 2023 and conducted bibliometric analysis with systematically integrated data visualization tools and analytical algorithms. Analysis of 8375 scholarly works (6838 articles; 1537 reviews) demonstrates a notable surge in academic productivity and citation impact over the 24-year observation period, particularly accelerating after 2019. Yonsei University ranked first in institutional contributions, while the United States retained its dominance in publication output. Surgical Endoscopy topped the publication volume, whereas European Urology excelled in H-index and Impact Factor rankings. Prominent researchers include Kaouk JH and Menon M, the latter of whom attained the highest average citation count. Frequent keywords such as "robotic surgery" and "laparoscopic surgery" indicate the primary focus areas within the field. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery shows great potential, particularly for abdominal tumor procedures. Future research should emphasize global collaboration, improve research quality, and address geographic disparities to unlock new frontiers in precision surgery and enhance patient outcomes globally.
