Implementation and user acceptance of a domestic robot-assisted surgical training system: a pilot educational study at the first clinical medical college of Jinan university.

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
Objective: Robot-assisted surgical systems are being increasingly utilized in the field of surgery, and have been reported to offer enhanced 3D visualization, force feedback, superior ergonomics for the surgeon, and improved operative precision, which collectively may contribute to minimally invasive outcomes and expedited postoperative recovery. However, the integration of robot-assisted technology into surgical training curricula in Chinese medical colleges remains limited. This pilot implementation study aims to evaluate the usability, acceptance, and perceived educational value of the Jingfeng Multi-port Robot-Assisted Surgical System in a structured surgical training program in China. Method: The validity of the robot-assisted surgical system was first assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Participants then received practical training in applying the robotic technology to abdominal surgical procedures. Subsequently, a questionnaire was administered to collect their perceptions and evaluations regarding the integration of this technology into surgical practice. Result: The mean SUS score was 80.58 ± 12.04. Questionnaire responses indicated positive participant perceptions regarding system usability and potential educational value, reflecting user acceptance rather than objectively measured educational effectiveness. Participants reported favorable views on perceived enhancements in learning efficiency, system characteristics, and ease of operation. Notably, male users gave significantly higher ratings (5.94 ± 1.26) than their female counterparts (4.78 ± 1.36) on the "Ease of operation" factor ( Conclusion: In this observational pilot study, participants reported positive perceptions of the training mode, including perceived potential benefits for learning efficiency, motivation, and enjoyment. These perceptions do not establish causal effects of robotic training on educational outcomes.
