Advantages of TiRobot-assisted technology in internal fixation of femoral neck fractures: a meta-analysis of surgical parameters and complications.
Synthesis 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 2 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
Cannulated screw fixation is a frequently utilized surgical procedure for the care of femoral neck fractures. During this procedure, TiRobot has demonstrated high surgical precision. However, whether TiRobot-assisted cannulated screw insertion is superior to traditional manual insertion remains controversial. As a result, we undertook a meta-analysis to determine the clinical impact of TiRobot in managing femoral neck fractures. We methodically searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to find studies comparing TiRobot-assisted cannulated screw insertion with traditional manual insertion. The extracted data included demographics, fracture classification, and clinical outcomes. A total of six studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. Compared to traditional manual techniques, TiRobot demonstrated significant advantages in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, fluoroscopy frequency, guide pin adjustments, and Harris hip score (WMD > 0). It also showed significant benefits in complications such as nonunion and femoral head necrosis (OR < 1). Overall, TiRobot technology demonstrated high safety and efficacy. However, additional high-quality randomized controlled trials are essential to substantiate the results of this study.
