Early clinical experience with the Carina robotic platform in urologic surgery.
Article in BJUI compass, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a new modular robotic surgical platform - Carina Platform (Ronovo Surgical, Shanghai, China) in prostate and renal surgeries. Methods: We performed 11 robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARP) and 7 robot-assisted partial nephrectomies (RAPN) using the novel Carina Platform at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (Shanghai, China). The port placements, operating space setting, cart distances and patient positions for all surgeries were recommended according to the procedure cards developed by Ronovo Surgical. Outcomes include success rate (completion without conversion to laparoscopy or open surgery), docking time, total surgery time and safety evaluations such as estimated blood loss (EBL) and complications. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 37 to 73 years, and the BMI ranged from 19.9 to 29.1 kg/m Conclusions: This is the first clinical reporting outcomes of the Carina Platform in urologic procedures. The study provides evidence of feasibility and safety when performing RARP and RAPN with acceptable perioperative outcomes and minimal complications.
