Robotic surgery in the interior of Brazil: Is it possible?
Article in Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionRobotic surgery has been used in the treatment of various surgical diseases due to its precision and satisfactory outcomes. This study aims to describe the profile of patients undergoing robotic surgery at the Hospital de Clínicas de Passo Fundo and analyze the variables related to the procedure and its outcomes.
methodsA total of 215 medical records of patients who underwent robotic surgery at the Regional Robotic Surgery Center of the Hospital de Clínicas de Passo Fundo were reviewed, from the start of the program in 2023 until March 2024. Sex, age, comorbidities, and perioperative and postoperative data were evaluated.
resultsThe sample had a predominance of males (73.5%). The average age was 61 years. Systemic arterial hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity (43.7%). Regarding operative time, the first six months had a higher median total time (300 minutes) compared to the last six months (245 minutes) with p≤0.001.
conclusionThe implementation of a robotic surgery center in the interior of Brazil proved to be feasible, with favorable outcomes, progressive reductions in surgical times, and regional benefits by expanding access to cutting-edge technologies.
