Robot-assisted oropharyngeal cancer surgery using the da Vinci SP system: a step-by-step case presentation.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
The da Vinci Single-Port (SP) system received CE Mark approval for transoral robotic surgery in January 2024. Nevertheless, clinical experience with this platform in Europe remains limited - particularly in the field of minimally invasive head and neck surgery. In this report, we present the case of a 51-year-old man with p16-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the right tonsil who underwent transoral robotic resection using the da Vinci SP system, combined with contralateral tonsillectomy and bilateral neck dissection, at a German university hospital. To our knowledge, this represents one of the earliest reported oncologic applications of the da Vinci SP system in Germany following CE mark approval, highlighting its integration into established multimodal treatment pathways for oropharyngeal carcinoma. Further multicenter studies are required to define its role in clinical implementation compared with established techniques such as transoral laser microsurgery and earlier robotic systems.
