Association between objective performance indicators and patient outcomes in robotic surgery: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. 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
Robotic surgery enables automated capture of objective performance indicators (OPIs), which reflect gestures at the surgeon consoles as well as activity at the patient cart. This systematic review evaluated associations between OPIs and clinical outcomes from robotic surgery. Across nine studies, OPIs were associated with various intra-operative and post-operative outcomes, including estimated blood loss, operative time, hospital stay, continence recovery, quality of life, and positive surgical margins. Studies involving predictive models demonstrated improved outcome prediction when combining OPIs with patient and disease characteristics compared to using clinical variables alone. These findings suggest that OPIs provide meaningful data in regard to surgical quality and patient outcomes. Further multicenter research across surgical specialties and robotic platforms is needed to validate the potential utility of OPIs in surgical training, benchmarking, and quality assessment.
