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

A coaxial projective imaging (CPI) module acquires surgical scene images from the local site of surgery, transfers them wirelessly to the remote site, and projects instructive annotations to the surgical field. At the remote site, the surgical scene images are displayed, and the instructive annotations from a surgical specialist are wirelessly transferred back to the local site in order to guide the surgical intervention by a less experienced surgeon. The CPI module achieves seamless imaging of the surgical field and accurate projection of the instructive annotations, by a coaxial optical path design that couples the imaging arm with the projection arm and by a color correction algorithm that recovers the true color of the surgical scene. Our benchtop study of tele-guided intervention verifies that the proposed system has a positional accuracy of better than 1 mm at a working distance ranging from 300 to 500 mm. Our in vivo study of cricothyrotomy in a rabbit model proves the concept of tele-mentored surgical navigation. This is the first report of tele-guided surgery based on CPI. The proposed technique can be potentially used for surgical training and for telementored surgery in resource-limited settings.
