The Pregnant Surgeon: Welcoming the Advanced Ergonomics of Robotic Surgery.
Review in ANZ journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 detrimental effect of poor operative ergonomics in surgery cannot be underestimated. It's associated with negative outcomes such as increased burn-out, fatigue, clinically relevant pain, and early retirement. Pregnancy creates additional challenges for female surgeons to prevent injury while adjusting to anthropometric changes that are difficult to accommodate for using open and laparoscopic surgical techniques. The robotic platform has been associated with improved ergonomic capabilities while maintaining dexterity and access. Robotic surgery will likely chaperone in a new era of possibility for female surgeons in particular of career longevity, reduced leave requirements, and improved comfort while operating pre- and post-partum.
