Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy with DEXTER
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionDespite advancements in minimally invasive surgery, access to robotic-assisted cholecystectomy remains limited, largely due to robot availability and high costs for this procedure. The DEXTER
methodsA prospective study of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy was conducted by six surgeons across four centers in three countries. The primary objectives were to document the successful completion of the surgeries without conversion to laparoscopic or open surgery and the occurrence of serious adverse events (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III) up to 30 days post-surgery. Secondary endpoints included surgical performance metrics such as operative time.
resultsA total of 51 patients underwent surgical intervention for the management of symptomatic Cholecystolithiasis, Cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, and biliary pancreatitis. The median patient age was 59 years (IQR 42-65), and BMI was 28.0 kg/m
conclusionThis study confirmed that DEXTER
