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

The integration of robot-assisted spine surgery (RASS) and single lateral position surgery (SLPS) has revolutionized spinal fusion by enhancing efficiency, reducing surgical time, and improving patient outcomes. This video demonstrates a step-by-step procedural workflow for robot-assisted OLIF L4-L5, ALIF L5-S1, and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (L4-S1) in a single lateral decubitus position using the ExcelsiusGPS system. The workflow highlights preoperative CT-based planning, intraoperative image fusion, real-time navigation, and robot-guided implant placement. SLPS eliminates the need for patient repositioning, reduces anesthesia duration, and enhances operating room efficiency, showcasing the role of robotics and innovative positioning strategies in modern spine surgery. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2025.4.FOCVID257.
