Clinical Efficacy Over Privacy: Public Prioritization of Risk Dimensions in Telesurgery Acceptance Among Young Adults with Higher Education.
Article in Telemedicine reports. 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
Background: 5G-enabled telesurgery and robotic systems could improve access to specialist care, but acceptance remains limited by perceived risks. The relative importance of different risk dimensions is unclear. Objective: To examine how four risk perceptions (network latency, privacy leakage, treatment outcome difference, and postoperative rehabilitation outcome difference) affect acceptance intention among young and highly educated adults, and to derive implications for ethical risk communication and governance. Methods: A convenience sample survey was conducted among 345 university students. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlations, and multiple linear regression were used to test associations between risk perceptions and acceptance intention. Results: The four risk dimensions explained 26.3% of the variance in acceptance intention (adjusted Conclusion: For young, highly educated respondents, perceived clinical effectiveness, particularly rehabilitation, was more predictive of acceptance intention than operational performance or privacy concerns. Risk communication and oversight should prioritize transparent evidence on treatment and rehabilitation outcomes and use differentiated messaging; privacy protection should be integrated into informed consent in a patient-relevant and decision-consistent manner.
