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

purposeRecovering tissue deformation during robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery procedures is important for providing intra-operative guidance, enabling in vivo imaging modalities and enhanced robotic control. The tissue motion can also be used to apply motion stabilization and to prescribe dynamic constraints for avoiding critical anatomical structures.

methodsImage-based methods based independently on salient features or on image intensity have limitations when dealing with homogeneous soft tissues or complex reflectance. In this paper, we use a triangular geometric mesh model in order to combine the advantages of both feature and intensity information and track the tissue surface reliably and robustly.

resultsSynthetic and in vivo experiments are performed to provide quantitative analysis of the tracking accuracy of our method, and we also show exemplar results for registering multispectral images where there is only a weak image signal.

conclusionCompared to traditional methods, our hybrid tracking method is more robust and has improved convergence in the presence of larger displacements, tissue dynamics and illumination changes.
