Early learning curve changes in objective performance indicators during robotic cholecystectomy.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Learning curves for experienced laparoscopic surgeons transitioning to the robotic platform are still unknown. With the new availability of objective performance indicators (OPIs), which provide information on surgical behavior, we identified when a surgeon becomes proficient in transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic technique. As more operations were performed, the time all four robotic arms moved decreased for cystic duct ligation/division (
