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

purpose of reviewSingle-port robotic surgery has experienced remarkable evolution over the past five years, fundamentally transforming minimally invasive urologic practice. This review examines recent advancements in single-port robotic platforms, surgical techniques, and clinical outcomes across the spectrum of urologic procedures. RECENT

findingsThe introduction of the da Vinci SP surgical system and emerging competitors has catalyzed innovation in urologic surgery. Novel approaches including Retzius-sparing radical prostatectomy, extraperitoneal access techniques, transvesical simple prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, ureteral reconstruction, and pyeloplasty have demonstrated comparable oncologic and functional outcomes to conventional multiport approaches while potentially offering enhanced cosmesis, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery. Single-port robotic urologic surgery has matured significantly, with accumulating evidence supporting its safety, feasibility, and efficacy while utilizing novel surgical approaches. Continued refinement of surgical techniques, expanding platform availability, and growing surgeon experience are driving broader adoption. This review synthesizes contemporary literature to guide clinical practice and identify future research priorities.
