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

purposeTo evaluate the applicability of the Calypso

methodsUsing a custom-made measurement setup, we assessed single transponder relative accuracy, absolute accuracy and jitter throughout the extended FoV at 1440 locations interspaced with 2.5 cm in each orthogonal direction. The NDI Polaris Spectra optical tracking system (OTS) was used as a reference. Measurements were taken in a room without surrounding distorting factors and repeated in an operating room (OR). In the OR, the influence of a carbon fiber and regular stainless steel OR tabletop was investigated.

resultsThe calibration of the OTS and transponder system resulted in an average root-mean-square error (RMSE) vector of 0.03 cm. For both the standard and extended FoV, all accuracy measures were dependent on transponder to tracking array (TA) distances and the absolute accuracy was also dependent on TA to OR tabletop distances. This latter influence was reproducible, and after calibrating this, the residual error was below 0.1 cm RMSE within the entire standard FoV. Within the extended FoV, this residual RMSE did not exceed 0.1 cm for transponder to TA distances up to 25 cm.

conclusionThis study shows that transponder tracking is promising for accurate tumor tracking in the operating room. This applies when using the standard FoV, but also when using the extended FoV up to 25 cm above the TA, substantially increasing flexibility.
