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

Vitreoretinal surgery is among the most challenging microsurgical procedures as it requires precise tool manipulation in a constrained environment, while the tool-tissue interaction forces are at the human perception limits. While tool tip forces are certainly important, the scleral forces at the tool insertion ports are also important. Clinicians often rely on these forces to manipulate the eyeball position during surgery. Measuring sclera forces could enable valuable sensory input to avoid tissue damage, especially for a cooperatively controlled robotic assistant that otherwise removes the sensation of these familiar intraoperative forces. Previously, our group has measured sclera forces in phantom experiments. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no published data measuring scleral forces in biological
