1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 become an integral part of minimally invasive surgical practice across a variety of disciplines. However, training structures, access, and perceptions of its clinical value vary significantly among surgeons worldwide. To assess global trends in robotic and laparoscopic/thoracoscopic surgery training, practice patterns, and surgeon-perceived clinical outcomes across a range of procedures. A cross-sectional, web-based survey will be conducted among surgical professionals worldwide. The survey includes structured quantitative items using Likert scales and multiple-choice formats comparing the conventional laparoscopic/thoracoscopic approaches. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, subgroup comparisons, and regression models where appropriate. The study aims to identify variability in training pathways, perceived clinical benefits, and barriers to robotic surgery adoption, possibly informing curriculum development and policy changes to enhance equitable access and training.
