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

Robotic-assisted surgery has become increasingly widespread across surgical specialties over the last two decades. However, the high costs associated with robotic systems remain a major limitation to their diffusion. Recently introduced robotic platforms aim to increase market competition and potentially reduce procedural costs. This study evaluated the direct in-hospital costs associated with three robotic platforms in urologic surgery. A retrospective single-center cost analysis was conducted on robotic-assisted procedures performed in 2023. A total of 284 robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies (RALP) were included (200 Da Vinci, 77 Hugo™ RAS, and 7 Versius
