1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aims to offer a multilayered assessment of the adoption and implementation of robotic surgery (RS) in Türkiye by centring surgeons' individual experiences while concurrently examining institutional conditions and broader health-system factors. Using a qualitative design, we conducted in-depth interviews with 24 surgeons selected via criterion sampling. The data were analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological approach and coded through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the interplay between individual motivations, institutional capacity/regulations, and system-level incentives and constraints influences the use of RS. RS emerges both as a technical innovation and as a reconfiguration of professional practice. Effective and equitable integration will require standardized and scalable training-accreditation pathways, sustainable financing and reimbursement models, and strengthened ethical and transparent governance mechanisms.
