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
Images taken by an endoscope in single-port-access surgery are the most important information for directing surgeons to operate, so acquiring images taken at better position and a more desired perspective has profound significance for improving the efficiency and safety of surgery. The magnetically anchored laparoscope can help to realize this goal compared with the traditional laparoscope used in single-port-access surgery. In this paper, we propose the concept of applying ultrasonic motors in the magnetically anchored laparoscope. Two types of ultrasonic motors used for driving the laparoscope, namely a miniature traveling wave-rotating ultrasonic motor and a miniature traveling wave-tilt ultrasonic motor, are designed. The prototype of the magnetically anchored laparoscope using these two types of ultrasonic motors is fabricated and evaluated by experiments. The results show that the maximum output torque of the miniature traveling wave-rotating ultrasonic motor is 1.2 mN·m, and that of the miniature traveling wave-tilt ultrasonic motor is 1.4 mN·m, which is enough to actuate the magnetically anchored laparoscope. Additionally, it is proven that the two designed ultrasonic motors can be applied successfully in the laparoscope.
