MR-Conditional Actuations: A Review.
Review in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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 imaging (MRI) is one of the most prevailing technologies to enable noninvasive and radiation-free soft tissue imaging. Operating a robotic device under MRI guidance is an active research area that has the potential to provide efficient and precise surgical therapies. MR-conditional actuators that can safely drive these robotic devices without causing safety hazards or adversely affecting the image quality are crucial for the development of MR-guided robotic devices. This paper aims to summarize recent advances in actuation methods for MR-guided robots and each MR-conditional actuator was reviewed based on its working principles, construction materials, the noteworthy features, and corresponding robotic application systems, if any. Primary characteristics, such as torque, force, accuracy, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) variation due to the variance of the actuator, are also covered. This paper concludes with a perspective on the current development and future of MR-conditional actuators.
