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

purposeSurgical process models (SPMs) have recently been created for situation-aware computer-assisted systems in the operating room. One important challenge in this area is the automatic acquisition of SPMs. The purpose of this study is to present a new method for the automatic detection of low-level surgical tasks, that is, the sequence of activities in a surgical procedure, from microscope video images only. The level of granularity that we addressed in this work is symbolized by activities formalized by triplets <action, surgical tool, anatomical structure> .

methodsUsing the results of our latest work on the recognition of surgical phases in cataract surgeries, and based on the hypothesis that most activities occur in one or two phases only, we created a light-weight ontology, formalized as a hierarchical decomposition into phases and activities. Information concerning the surgical tools, the areas where tools are used and three other visual cues were detected through an image-based approach and combined with the information of the current surgical phase within a knowledge-based recognition system. Knowing the surgical phases before the activity, recognition allows supervised classification to be adapted to the phase. Multiclass Support Vector Machines were chosen as a classification algorithm.

resultsUsing a dataset of 20 cataract surgeries, and identifying 25 possible pairs of activities, a frame-by-frame recognition rate of 64.5 % was achieved with the proposed system.

conclusionsThe addition of human knowledge to traditional bottom-up approaches based on image analysis appears to be promising for low-level task detection. The results of this work could be used for the automatic indexation of post-operative videos.
