Breast biopsy navigation system with an assisted needle holder tool and 2D graphical user interface.

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.
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
objectiveThis paper proposes the development of a breast biopsy navigation system with an assisted needle holder tool for a coaxial needle and a graphical user interface, which utilizes an optical tracking device to localize the needle position relative to the ultrasound image with the aim to improve performance especially for a new radiologist or an inexperienced group. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe system consists of an assisted needle holder tool, which as an attachment for the 2D ultrasound transducer and the graphical user interface (GUI) that shows the needle pathway, needle line and warning signs. An optical tracking system is used to track the needle motion, ultrasound image and transform all information to with respect to the technique. The system is evaluated using a phantom made from gel candle. There were nine experienced and eight inexperienced participants who performed the breast biopsy intervention, using three methods: the freehand method, only the needle holder tool guidance, and the whole navigation guidance (GUI + assisted needle holder).
resultsThe results demonstrate a success rate of over 90% using only assisted needle holder and the whole system to perform breast biopsy for the experienced and inexperienced groups, whereas for the inexperienced group a success rate of 57.5% was achieved using the freehand method. The use of only assisted needle holder for breast biopsy reduces the time for a procedure in the inexperienced group by 6 s when compared to the freehand method.
conclusionThe authors believe that this navigation system can be applied in a clinical setting and give an advantage to inexperienced radiologists who must successfully perform clinical breast biopsy.
