Characterization and Control of a Pneumatic Motor for MR-conditional Robotic Applications.
Article in IEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics : a joint publication of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Magnetic Resonance (MR) guided interventional robots have recently been developed for a variety of surgeries, such as biopsy, ablation, and brachytherapy. The actuators and encoders that power and track such robots must be MR-conditional. In this paper, we propose an MR-conditional pneumatic motor with an integrated and custom-built fiber-optical encoder that provides powerful and accurate actuation. The motor is coupled with a modular plastic gearbox that provides a variety of gear ratio options so that the motor can be adapted to application requirements. With a 100:1 gear reduction at 0.55 MPa, the motor achieves 460 mNm stall torque and 370 rpm no-load speed, which leads to the peak output power of 6W. The motor has the bandwidth of approximately 1.1 Hz and 3.5 Hz when connected to 8 m and 0.2 m air hoses, respectively. The motor was tested in a 3T MRI scanner. No image artifact was observed and maximum signal to noise ratio (SNR) variation was less than 5%. Different from most of the existing MR-conditional pneumatic actuators, the proposed motor shape is more like the traditional electric motors, which offers more flexibility in the MR-conditional robot design.
