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

We present an image-based navigation solution for a surgical robotic system with a Continuum Manipulator (CM). Our navigation system uses only fluoroscopic images from a mobile C-arm to estimate the CM shape and pose with respect to the bone anatomy. The CM pose and shape estimation is achieved using image intensity-based 2D/3D registration. A learning-based framework is used to automatically detect the CM in X-ray images, identifying landmark features that are used to initialize and regularize image registration. We also propose a modified hand-eye calibration method that numerically optimizes the hand-eye matrix during image registration. The proposed navigation system for CM positioning was tested in simulation and cadaveric studies. In simulation, the proposed registration achieved a mean error of 1.10±0.72 mm between the CM tip and a target entry point on the femur. In cadaveric experiments, the mean CM tip position error was 2.86±0.80 mm after registration and repositioning of the CM. The results suggest that our proposed fluoroscopic navigation is feasible to guide the CM in orthopedic applications.
