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

This work presents a novel technique to control multi-functional hand for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. We tested the technique using the MUSHA multi-functional hand, a robot-aided minimally invasive surgery tool with more degrees of freedom than the standard commercial end-effector of the da Vinci robot. Extra degrees of freedom require the development of a proper control strategy to guarantee high performance and avoid an increasing complexity of control consoles. However, developing reliable control algorithms while reducing the control side's mechanical complexity is still an open challenge. In the proposed solution, we present a control strategy that projects the human hand motions into the robot actuation space. The human hand motions are tracked by a LeapMotion camera and mapped into the actuation space of the virtualized end-effector. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated in a twofold manner. Firstly, we verified the Lyapunov stability of the algorithm, then an user study with 10 subjects assessed the intuitiveness and usability of the system.
