Prospective Comparative Cohort Study of the Initial Learning Curve of Hugo
Article in Journal of abdominal wall surgery : JAWS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Robotic-assisted surgery has become increasingly utilized in inguinal hernia repair (r-TAPP), offering enhanced precision and improved ergonomics. Differences in operative efficiency between robotic platforms during the early adoption phase are not well known. This study compares the operative times during the learning curve of r-TAPP using the Hugo Methods: Patients undergoing r-TAPP with the Hugo Results: The first 50 consecutive patients operated with the Hugo Conclusion: For a surgeon experienced with the da Vinci platform, transition to the Hugo
