Technical nuances of robotic-guided S2 alar-iliac screw insertion.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 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
Robot-assisted S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) screw placement enhances accuracy and minimizes complications in spinal deformity and pelvic fixation surgeries. This video outlines the intraoperative navigation, planning, and execution of S2AI screw placement using robotic guidance. By optimizing screw trajectory and reducing soft-tissue disruption, robotic assistance improves biomechanical stability in long-segment spinopelvic constructs. The integration of real-time navigation enhances precision, potentially lowering revision rates. This video aims to highlight the technical nuances, clinical advantages, and outcomes associated with robot-assisted S2AI screw placement, underscoring its role in advancing spine surgery with greater consistency and safety.
