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

In recent years, robotic assistance in vitreoretinal surgery has moved from a benchtop environment to the operating rooms. Emerging robotic systems improve tool manoeuvrability and provide precise tool motions in a constrained intraocular environment and reduce/remove hand tremor. However, often due to their stiff and bulky mechanical structure, they diminish the perception of tool-to-sclera (scleral) forces, on which the surgeon relies, for eyeball manipulation. In this paper we measure these scleral forces and actively control the robot to keep them under a predefined threshold. Scleral forces are measured using a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based force sensing instrument in an
