Preliminary study of an RNN-based active interventional robotic system (AIRS) in retinal microsurgery.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
purposeRetinal microsurgery requires highly dexterous and precise maneuvering of instruments inserted into the eyeball through the sclerotomy port. During such procedures, the sclera can potentially be injured from extreme tool-to-sclera contact force caused by surgeon's unintentional misoperations.
methodsWe present an active interventional robotic system to prevent such iatrogenic accidents by enabling the robotic system to actively counteract the surgeon's possible unsafe operations in advance of their occurrence. Relying on a novel force sensing tool to measure and collect scleral forces, we construct a recurrent neural network with long short-term memory unit to oversee surgeon's operation and predict possible unsafe scleral forces up to the next 200 ms. We then apply a linear admittance control to actuate the robot to reduce the undesired scleral force. The system is implemented using an existing "steady hand" eye robot platform. The proposed method is evaluated on an artificial eye phantom by performing a "vessel following" mock retinal surgery operation.
resultsEmpirical validation over multiple trials indicates that the proposed active interventional robotic system could help to reduce the number of unsafe manipulation events.
conclusionsWe develop an active interventional robotic system to actively prevent surgeon's unsafe operations in retinal surgery. The result of the evaluation experiments shows that the proposed system can improve the surgeon's performance.
