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
Most image-guided interventions rely on surgical tracking and image/model to patient registration to establish a spatial relationship between the patient and the pre- and intraprocedural images, by using surgical tracking and localization systems. In this work, we characterize the tracking, registration and navigation accuracy using two different surgical localization systems - the NDI Polaris Spectra optical tracking system and the NDI Aurora electromagnetic tracking system - in the context of an image-guided renal intervention, using a 3D printed life-size model of a patient-specific kidney phantom generated from a CT image. Our results reported a 0.05 mm fiducial localization error, 0.70 mm fiducial registration error, and 0.78 mm target registration error, and 0.63 mm overall navigation error using the optical tracking, and 0.12 mm fiducial localization error, 0.78 mm fiducial registration error, 0.93 mm target registration error and 0.89 mm overall navigation error using electromagnetic tracking. Additionally, our study also showed similarity between the overall navigation accuracy using optical (0.63 mm RMS error) or electromagnetic tracking (0.89 mm RMS error) and the overall navigation accuracy achieved using direct visualization of the surgical scene (0.68 mm and 1.06 RMS error respectively), which serves as a baseline control metric.
