Will your next surgeon be a robot? Autonomy and AI in robotic surgery.
Review in Science robotics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
State-of-the-art surgery is performed robotically under direct surgeon control. However, surgical outcome is limited by the availability, skill, and day-to-day performance of the operating surgeon. What will it take to improve surgical outcomes independent of human limitations? In this Review, we explore the technological evolution of robotic surgery and current trends in robotics and artificial intelligence that could lead to a future generation of autonomous surgical robots that will outperform today's teleoperated robots.
