Robotic Systems in Cardiovascular Interventions: Evolving Platforms and the Path Forward.
Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Interventional radiology is increasingly turning to robotic solutions to overcome limitations of manual catheterization, such as operator fatigue, procedural complications, and radiation exposure. Despite rapid advancements in robotic technologies, existing platforms face barriers to widespread adoption due to complex hardware, nonintuitive controls, and limited modularity, thereby affecting sterility, the absence of true force feedback, heavy reliance on fluoroscopy, high costs, and a lack of truly disruptive innovation. In effect, many systems function more as extensions of the surgeon's hand rather than as disruptive leaps. This review surveys 19 commercial and emerging robotic systems categorized based on the methods and technologies used, with a discussion of benefits and limitations for various specific indications. Integration of imaging, haptics, and economic considerations are also discussed. This comprehensive synthesis aims to offer insights into current capabilities, limitations, and potential future directions for researchers and engineers to advance this domain.
