The Application of Orthopedic Surgical Robot-Assisted Technology in Various Clinical Scenarios Involving Bone Tumors.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2026. 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
objectivesOver the past three decades, orthopedic surgical robots have experienced rapid advancements. This study, a case series, aimed to investigate the effectiveness, limitations, and technical improvements associated with the application of robots in the surgical treatment of bone tumors.
methodsFrom November 2021 to October 2023, 54 patients with bone tumors who provided consent for robot-assisted surgery were included. Patients were divided into three groups based on specific objectives: robot-assisted path planning, pedicle screw insertion, and intraoperative real-time navigation-assisted tumor resection. Perioperative conditions were meticulously recorded for all patients, including intraoperative blood loss, operation duration, postoperative complications, and tumor diameter.
resultsNineteen patients underwent robot-assisted tissue biopsies, and pathological examinations confirmed a positive rate of 84.21%. Among the 21 patients undergoing robot-assisted pedicle screw placement, surgical planning was executed with high accuracy. Twenty patients undergoing robot-assisted lesion excision achieved precise resection of the tumor-affected bone segments as planned preoperatively, and no secondary osteotomies were required. No perioperative complications related to the use of robots were observed in the 54 patients. To address the limitation of orthopedic robots in differentiating soft tissues, we integrated ultrasound technology and the da Vinci robot. Additionally, patient-specific cutting guides were utilized to compensate for the prolonged operation time associated with planar planning using orthopedic robots.
conclusionsRobot-assisted technology facilitates the precise planning of the surgical path and determination of the osteotomy plane. The integration of orthopedic robots with intraoperative ultrasound or Da Vinci robots can potentially further ensure the safety of bone tumor surgery while maintaining its accuracy, thereby minimizing the risk of complications associated with surgical procedures. Furthermore, this technology combined with patient-specific cutting guides may be conducive to reducing operation time.
