Can robotic assistance mitigate the negative impact of sleep deprivation on surgical performance in microsurgical tasks?
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Introduction: Robotic surgery has expanded across various surgical disciplines, and although its application in microsurgery remains relatively novel, it has shown promise in a variety of microsurgical procedures. This study investigates how surgeons' preoperative levels of sleep and stress influence perceived workload during manual and robot-assisted anastomoses in a laboratory setting. Methods: Seventeen participants with varying degrees of surgical experience performed a total of 149 anastomoses reporting pre-anastomosis sleep quality and stress levels as well as experienced workload factors during anastomosis such as perceived effort, frustration, and overall sense of performance. Results: Poor sleep quality increases the perceived exertion when performing manual anastomoses ( Conclusion: Robot-assisted surgery may mitigate the negative impact of sleep deprivation on subjective workload during microsurgical anastomoses. The impact of sleep and stress on surgical performance, including anastomosis completion times and patency, requires further investigation.
