Quality of Life After Robotic Abdominal Surgery - A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Surgical innovation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BackgroundRobotic procedures are still increasing in abdominal surgery. Yet, little is known about the postoperative Quality of Life (pQoL) after these procedures. The aim of this study was to determine the pQoL of patients who underwent robotic-assisted abdominal surgery.MethodsAs a cross-sectional, retrospective study, several validated questionnaires were used to evaluate the pQoL. After confirmed consent patients who underwent robotic upper gastrointestinal tract (UGI), hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB), and colorectal (CR) procedures between 03/2020 and 03/2023 were enrolled. Subgroup analysis referred to oncologic and non-oncologic indications, postoperative time periods and age >70 years. Scoring was adjusted to a scale of 0 to 100 (as the best QoL) for comparability.ResultsA total of 197 patients were included (
