Clinical and Economic Assessment of Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy With the Hinotori Surgical System: Insights From a Japanese Single-Centre Study.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundWe investigated the clinical and economic outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the hinotori surgical system (H-RARP).
methodsThe analysis was conducted on 76 and 68 patients who underwent RARP using the da Vinci surgical system (D-RARP) and H-RARP, respectively. Safety, oncological, and functional outcomes were compared between H-RARP and D-RARP. Risk factors influencing medical costs in RARP were identified via linear regression analysis.
resultsExcept for longer operative time in H-RARP, clinical outcomes were comparable. The median medical costs per case were $12,426.8 for D-RARP and $12,548.9 for H-RARP. Operative time (coefficient: 0.0002, p < 0.001), pathological T stage (coefficient: 0.023, p = 0.030), and postoperative hospital stay (coefficient: 0.028, p < 0.001) were significant factors affecting medical costs; in contrast, the type of robot-assisted surgical system was not a significant factor.
conclusionsH-RARP offers clinical outcomes comparable to those of D-RARP while maintaining equivalent medical costs.
