Association of robotic vs laparoscopic technique on postoperative opioid consumption among patients who underwent bariatric surgery: a single-center cohort study.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center). 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
Background: Robotic platforms are increasingly utilized in bariatric surgery to overcome technical limitations of traditional laparoscopy. However, the impact of robotics on postoperative pain control is not fully understood. This study aimed to compare pain control outcomes following primary bariatric surgery performed via robot-assisted approaches versus conventional laparoscopy. Methods: This retrospective investigation involved all adults who underwent primary bariatric surgeries at a single institution from August 2016 to January 2019. Multivariable generalized linear and ordinal logistic regression models were fitted to test predictive associations of the robotic vs laparoscopic surgical technique with postoperative in-hospital opioid consumption and pain intensity ratings, independent of covarying risk factors. Results: A total of 340 patients (201 in the robotic group and 139 in the laparoscopic group) were included in the study. Baseline preoperative characteristics were similar between comparison groups, except mean body mass index was significantly higher among robotic surgery recipients (47.7 vs 44.0 kg/m Conclusion: Compared to conventional laparoscopy, robotic primary bariatric procedures did not independently decrease postoperative in-hospital opioid utilization or pain intensity.
