ColoRobotica: Structured training in robotic colorectal surgery.
Article in Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The adoption of robotic surgery has increased rapidly. The robotic surgery market is projected to reach $14 billion globally by 2026, with an increasing number of robotic platforms entering the market. Structured training remains an important issue in robotic colorectal surgery. ColoRobotica at the European School of Coloproctology, the European Society of Coloproctology, was established in 2018 to benchmark robotic colorectal training in Europe. A multidisciplinary team was formed, and a framework was established. Building the infrastructure of the programme took 2 years. A training pathway was designed to provide a structured training programme with quality assurance interventions embedded in the programme. The programme was launched in 2022. Preliminary results showed clinical outcomes of trainees are comparable to those of expert robotic surgeons. The model could serve as a template for both other scientific societies and different specialties to provide structured robotic surgical training.
