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

purposeFree fibula flap is the gold standard for the treatment of mandibular defects. However, the existing preoperative planning protocol is cumbersome to execute, costly to learn, and poorly collaborative with the robot-assisted cutting of the fibular osteotomy plane.

methodsA surgical planning system for robotic assisted mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flap is proposed in this study. A fibular osteotomy planning algorithm is presented so that the virtual surgical planning of the fibular osteotomy segments can be obtained automatically with selected mandibular anatomical landmarks. The planned osteotomy planes are then converted into the motion path of the robotic arm, and the automatic fibula osteotomy is completed under optical navigation.

resultsSurgical planning was performed on 35 patients to verify the feasibility of our system's virtual surgical planning module, with an average time of 13 min. Phantom experiments were performed to evaluate the reliability and stability of this system. The average distance and angular deviations of the osteotomy planes are 1.04 ± 0.68 mm and 1.56 ±1.10°, respectively.

conclusionsOur system can achieve not only precise and convenient preoperative planning, but also safe and reliable osteotomy trajectory. The clinical applications of our system for mandibular reconstruction surgery are expected soon.
