Toward Safe Retinal Microsurgery: Development and Evaluation of an RNN-Based Active Interventional Control Framework.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectiveRobotics-assisted retinal microsurgery provides several benefits including improvement of manipulation precision. The assistance provided to the surgeons by current robotic frameworks is, however, a "passive" support, e.g., by damping hand tremor. Intelligent assistance and active guidance are, however, lacking in the existing robotic frameworks. In this paper, an active interventional control framework (AICF) has been presented to increase operation safety by actively intervening the operation to avoid exertion of excessive forces to the sclera.
methodsAICF consists of the following four components: first, the steady-hand eye robot as the robotic module; second, a sensorized tool to measure tool-to-sclera forces; third, a recurrent neural network to predict occurrence of undesired events based on a short history of time series of sensor measurements; and finally, a variable admittance controller to command the robot away from the undesired instances.
resultsA set of user studies were conducted involving 14 participants (with four surgeons). The users were asked to perform a vessel-following task on an eyeball phantom with the assistance of AICF as well as other two benchmark approaches, i.e., auditory feedback (AF) and real-time force feedback (RF). Statistical analysis shows that AICF results in a significant reduction of proportion of undesired instances to about 2.5%, compared with 38.4% and 26.2% using AF and RF, respectively.
conclusionAICF can effectively predict excessive-force instances and augment performance of the user to avoid undesired events during robot-assisted microsurgical tasks. SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed system may be extended to other fields of microsurgery and may potentially reduce tissue injury.
