The evolution of research in orthopedic robotic surgery: global trends and future directions.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Robotic surgery enhances precision in orthopedic and trauma procedures like joint replacements and bone corrections using navigation, artificial intelligence, and preoperative planning. This study aims to describe the global scientific output on robotic surgery in orthopedics and traumatology indexed on the Web of Science database. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to assess productivity, impact, and scientific collaboration. A total of 793 articles related to robotic surgery in orthopedics and traumatology were identified across 65 journals. The highest number of publications occurred in 2024 (155 articles), with an annual growth rate of 21.85% and an average of 24.38 citations per article. Fares Sami Haddad was the most prolific author (28 publications), while also leading in total citations (6089). The United States was the most productive country (279 articles). The most productive journals included The Journal of Arthroplasty and Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy, whereas journals with the greatest citation impact were The Bone & Joint Journal and Spine. The most cited study was by Jacofski et al. (2016), with 290 citations. Leading institutions included the Hospital for Special Surgery and the University of Pittsburgh. The most common keywords over the years were "arthroplasty," "accuracy," "navigation," and "robotic surgery," reflecting evolving trends from biomechanical precision to imaging and trauma evaluation. These findings provide a comprehensive overview of research trends in orthopedic robotic surgery, identify gaps in the existing literature, and suggest future directions for research and clinical innovation in this evolving field.
