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

objectiveRobot-assisted minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) offers high precision but remains costly and technically demanding, posing challenges for surgeons accustomed to median sternotomy. We aimed to explore a transitional approach toward robotic-like, human-controlled minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery (MICVS) using ARTISENTIAL

methodsFrom 2023 to 2025, 10 patients underwent cardiovascular procedures in which ARTISENTIAL

resultsAll ARTISENTIAL

conclusionThis approach appears feasible for selected procedural components and may serve as a practical transitional strategy toward minimally invasive cardiac surgery, requiring less infrastructural investment than fully robotic platforms and allowing a stepwise transition toward MICVS.
