1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRobotic surgery represents a notable advancement in the field of minimally invasive gynecological surgery. Although the Kangduo Robot® SR1000 (KD-SR-01) surgical system has shown improved stability and high efficiency, studies describing its use for gynecological surgery are limited. We aimed to review the safety and effectiveness of the KD-SR-01 system in gynecologic surgery and compare it with conventional laparoscopic operation. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe compared patient characteristics and short-term outcomes in cases of gynecological surgery conducted using the KD-SR-01 system and laparoscopic minimally invasive procedures between March 2024 and October 2024. The short-term clinical efficacies of both surgical modalities were compared by performing statistical analyses.

resultsThe KD-SR-01 system was used for total hysterectomy due to benign uterine tumors in 144 cases, ovarian cyst removal surgery due to benign ovarian tumors in 25 cases, unilateral adnexectomy due to benign ovarian tumors or borderline tumors in 25 cases, staging of early endometrial cancer in 24 cases, and radical cervical cancer resection for early cervical cancer in 24 cases. None of the patients showed serious complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 3). In comparison with traditional laparoscopic surgery, Kangduo robotic surgery resulted in a lower duration of hospitalization, operation time, blood loss, and drainage volume, but the two surgical modalities showed no differences in the complication rate.

conclusionThe Kangduo robotic system was safe and feasible for gynecological surgery. Evidence from additional studies and more surgical experience are required to determine the long-term outcomes and indications for gynecological surgery using this robotic system.
