Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Regardless of learning outcome, surgical competence for robotic LLND was achieved after 12–53 cases. → Kehagias D. 2025

q2 · i? · review · r2
A systematic review of eight retrospective studies using the CUSUM method found that
"Regardless of learning outcome, surgical competence for robotic LLND was achieved after 12–53 cases, for laparoscopic LLND after 19 cases, and for the open approach no inflection point was identified."
