MRI-guided lumbar spinal injections with body-mounted robotic system: cadaver studies.
Article in Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionThis paper reports the system integration and cadaveric assessment of a body-mounted robotic system for MRI-guided lumbar spine injections. The system is developed to enable MR-guided interventions in closed bore magnet and avoid problems due to patient movement during cannula guidance. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe robot is comprised by a lightweight and compact structure so that it can be mounted directly onto the lower back of a patient using straps. Therefore, it can minimize the influence of patient movement by moving with the patient. The MR-Conditional robot is integrated with an image-guided surgical planning workstation. A dedicated clinical workflow is created for the robot-assisted procedure to improve the conventional freehand MRI-guided procedure.
resultsCadaver studies were performed with both freehand and robot-assisted approaches to validate the feasibility of the clinical workflow and to assess the positioning accuracy of the robotic system. The experiment results demonstrate that the root mean square (RMS) error of the target position to be 2.57 ± 1.09 mm and of the insertion angle to be 2.17 ± 0.89°.
conclusionThe robot-assisted approach is able to provide more accurate and reproducible cannula placements than the freehand procedure, as well as to reduce the number of insertion attempts.
