Efficacy analysis of minimally invasive treatment for scapular coracoid fractures assisted by TiRobot ForcePro Superior.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Accurate spatial positioning is the key to the precise implantation of coracoid screws. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and current issues of TiRobot ForcePro Superior (TFS) in the treatment of scapular coracoid fractures by comparing it with the freehand screw implantation technique. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 29 patients with scapular coracoid fractures who underwent surgical treatment at Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2019 to 2024. Based on the surgical approach, the patients were divided into the robot-assisted group ( Results: The intraoperative blood loss and incision length in the robot-assisted group were significantly less than those in the control group. The visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores in the robot-assisted group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The shoulder function scores in the robot-assisted group were significantly higher than those in the control group. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operative time, hospital stay, screw placement accuracy, incidence of postoperative complications, or fracture healing time. Conclusion: Compared with freehand screw implantation, minimally invasive treatment for scapular coracoid fractures assisted by TFS significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss, shortened incision length, alleviated pain, and better promoted the recovery of shoulder joint function.
