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

In recent years, laparoscopic surgery attracts considerable attention for its distinct advantages owing to minimized invasiveness. However, traditional surgical instruments have a single function and lack the ability to provide high-resolution images for real-time tissue assessment. Thus, it remains a challenge to perform complex procedures with the traditional surgical instruments. In this paper, a novel laparoscopic surgical device for real-time endomicroscopy and therapy is proposed. The device is integrated with a visualization unit to provide endoscopic images in a constrained cavity for real-time observation. Moreover, modular end tools can be assembled and switched with the multi-DOF manipulator. The experimental results demonstrate that the surface-scanning tool can perform smooth scanning and obtain a large area mosaic of 6.99 mm
