Expanding horizons: the role of robotic surgery in modern transplantation practices.
Review in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 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
Robotic surgery has emerged as a transformative tool in modern surgical practice, offering enhanced precision, 3D visualization, and improved ergonomics. robotic-assisted procedures are increasingly being explored as viable alternatives to traditional open and laparoscopic approaches in the field of transplant medicine. We performed a structured narrative review of published literature focusing on robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT), robotic liver transplant, and recent innovations in robotic pancreas and multivisceral transplantation. Comparative clinical outcomes were summarized and key perioperative metrics were tabulated. Accordingly, we demonstrated that robotic surgery offers promising results with reduced surgical site infection (SSI) rates, shorter hospital stays, favorable graft outcomes, and recovery metrics. Besides, novel applications, such as robotic heart, lung, and bladder transplants, are entering early clinical phases, supported by advances in surgical platform. While technical complexity, cost, and limited tactile feedback remain barriers, ongoing technological innovation and growing clinical experience are steadily expanding the role of robotics in transplant surgery. Future multicenter trials and long-term outcome data are essential to establish its place in routine clinical practice.
