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

Cooperative robotic systems for vitreoretinal surgery can enable novel surgical approaches by allowing the surgeon to perform procedures with enhanced stabilization and high accuracy tool movements. This paper presents the optimization and design of a four-bar linkage type tilt mechanism for a novel Steady-Hand Eye Robot (SHER) which can be used equivalently on both, the left and right patient side, during a bilateral approach with two robots. In this optimization, it is desirable to limit the workspace needed for compensation motions that ensure a virtual remote center of motion (V-RCM). The safety space around the patient, the space for the surgeon's hand and maintaining positional accuracy are also included in the optimization. The applicability of the resulting optimized mechanism was confirmed with a design prototype in a representative mock-up of the surgical setting allowing multiple directions of robot approach towards a medical phantom.
