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

As a pioneering development in modern gynecology, telerobotic laparoscopic surgery overcomes geographical barriers and optimizes resource allocation. However, its inherent "de-presence" has also raised significant ethical challenges and philosophical questions. Based on the practical application of remote technologies in gynecological surgery, this study first examines how network latency affects the safety of delicate pelvic anatomical dissections, considering the "ethicization" of technical parameters. Next, it analyzes the reconstruction of the responsibility chain - including the lead surgeon, on-site assistants, equipment manufacturers, and telecommunication providers - while clarifying the boundaries of legal liability among these stakeholders. Additionally, from the perspectives of both clinicians and patients, this paper discusses the heightened professional responsibility and cognitive anxiety under the "technological halo," as well as patients' expectations and concerns about their bodies being mediated by technology. To address these challenges, the study proposes establishing a "Techno-Humanistic Dual-Gate" ethical review system and emphasizes the importance of upholding the spirit of medical humanities. These measures aim to ensure that telerobotic surgery develops in a healthy manner by integrating technological precision with humanistic care.
