Quantitative Visualization of Console Behavior During Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Using the Da Vinci 5 System: A Case-Based Technical Report.

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
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) has become a standard minimally invasive treatment for nonmetastatic prostate cancer. The next-generation da Vinci 5 system incorporates integrated motion analytics and force-feedback instruments, enabling quantitative visualization of console behavior during robotic surgery. In this case-based technical report, we describe our initial real-world experience with these functions in two patients who underwent RARP at a single institution. Both procedures were performed via a standard transperitoneal approach without pelvic lymph node dissection, and perioperative outcomes were acceptable in both cases. Digital logs obtained from the cloud-based My Intuitive platform (Intuitive Surgical) provided instrument-tip force categories, kinematic metrics including instrument and endoscope path lengths, and system events such as endoscope clutches, hand-controller clutches, and energy-pedal activations. The procedures were automatically segmented into three steps by the My Intuitive platform algorithm, and the analytics were reviewed in synchronization with the corresponding operative videos. Quantitative review demonstrated differing patterns of console motion, clutch use, and force application between the two analyzed procedures, particularly during dissection between the rectum and prostate and during vesicourethral anastomosis. Case 1 showed more frequent clutch use and a broader working range, whereas Case 2 showed a higher proportion of time categorized as force ≥ 6.5 N despite similar mean forces. This report demonstrates the technical feasibility of capturing, synchronizing, and visualizing console behavior using the integrated analytics of the da Vinci 5 system during RARP. Although the findings are descriptive and hypothesis-generating only, this integrated review approach may have potential value for structured technical reflection, data-guided feedback, and future surgical education research.
