Locally operated assistant manipulators with selectable connection system for robotically assisted laparoscopic solo surgery.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeBy integrating locally operated surgical assistant robots in a sterilized area, a surgeon can perform safe robotically assisted laparoscopic solo surgery while controlling a laparoscope-holding robot and a forceps robot. At present, there is no leader-follower control system with switchable connection for the leader device in which each assistant follower robot can provide the manipulation intuitively and easily. In the present study, a new locally operated leader-follower selectable control system has been developed.
methodsThe leader-follower system was developed to connect one leader operating device and one of two selectable follower assistant manipulator devices with different numbers of axes, kinematics models, sensors, and actuators for view stabilization and pulling organs. The system is constructed using the middleware of the ORiN-based medical robot architecture MRLink. The system is regulated by the robot integrator application with unilateral leader-follower PTP using the relative displacement between the leader device and the selected follower device through providers of device interface including the information and control commands.
resultsThe execution cycle for updating the position was 50 ms, and the time delay to catch up with the same position was 100 ms. Two assistant manipulators controlled by the leader-follower selectable system could successfully produce the desired view and handle the target organ model for 17 min in a simulated laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
conclusionsA locally operated leader-follower selectable control system was constructed to facilitate minimally invasive, robotically assisted laparoscopic solo surgery by a doctor working near the patient. This system could be used for such applications.
