Surgical technique of articulated instruments in endoscopic (ARTISTIC) mastectomy: bridging the gap in minimally invasive breast surgery.
Article in Gland surgery, 2026. 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
Minimally invasive breast surgery (MIBS) has emerged as an important surgical option for patients with early-stage breast cancer, driven by growing emphasis on superior cosmetic outcomes, preservation of function, and improved quality of life. Endoscopic nipple- or skin-sparing mastectomy offers the advantages of hidden scars and reduced tissue trauma. However, when performed using conventional straight laparoscopic instruments (CLI), the procedure remains technically demanding because of restricted degrees of freedom, the fulcrum effect of trocar-based access, and suboptimal surgeon ergonomics. Robotic systems can overcome many of these limitations, but remain inaccessible to many institutions due to high capital costs, recurring consumables, and infrastructure requirements. Handheld articulating instruments (HAI), such as the Artisential
