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

purposeInnovations in intraoperative imaging lead to major changes in orthopaedic surgery. In our setting, a 3D flat-panel c-arm (Artis zeego) is mounted on a robotic arm offering an integrated aiming tool (Syngo iGuide). Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of Syngo iGuide for pedicle screw placement in comparison with fluoroscopic screw implantation.

methodsIn 10 lumbar models, 100 screws were implanted. In 5 models, a standard fluoroscopic technique was used. Syngo iGuide was used in all other models. Afterwards, CT-scans were performed and screw accuracy was investigated.

resultsThe procedure time for the new technique was significantly longer in comparison with the standard technique. The post-operative CT showed the same accuracy in both groups.

conclusionsSyngo iGuide proofed feasible for percutaneous implantation of pedicle screws in anatomic models. Syngo iGuide can be a help for screw implantation in difficult anatomic regions without the need of an additional navigation system.
