Technical performance, surgical workload and patient outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgery for pediatric choledochal cyst: a multicenter retrospective cohort and propensity score-matched study.

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
Background: Robotic surgery (RS) and laparoscopic surgery (LS) are increasingly used for pediatric choledochal cysts (CC); however, it remains unclear which technique is superior. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes, technical performance and surgical workload between RS and LS. Methods: From January 2014 to February 2023, 604 CC patients (RS =302, LS =302) were enrolled in this multicenter retrospective cohort study after propensity score matching. Surgical videos were rated for technical performance using the Objective Structured Assessments of Technical Skills (OSATS) and Generic Error Rating Tool instruments. Results: During follow-up, overall complication rates were similar between two groups, but RS group had lower anastomotic stricture rate (1.32% Conclusions: RS for selected pediatric CC offers superior technical performance and less surgeon workload, as well as lower anastomotic stricture rate than LS in high-volume children's centers.
