Robotic Sacro-Pelvic Fixation After Traumatic Fracture: A Case Report of the Utility of Robotics in Surgical Planning.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 use of robotic technology in spine surgery has been shown to improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement with faster operative time and less blood loss, particularly in the thoracolumbar region. Here we present a 22-year-old male who underwent successful robotic fixation of multiple unstable traumatic sacro-pelvic fractures. Given the complex nature of the construct, the robot facilitated advanced preoperative planning. Postoperatively, he did experience ileus likely due to opioid usage and his preoperative mechanical obstruction, which resolved quickly with medical management. He otherwise did very well after surgery and had resolution of his preoperative severe constipation. Our experience demonstrates the feasibility and utility of the robot in the fixation of sacropelvic fractures.
