Preclinical robotic device for magnetic resonance imaging guided focussed ultrasound.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundA robotic device featuring three motion axes was manufactured for preclinical research on focussed ultrasound (FUS). The device comprises a 2.75 MHz single element ultrasonic transducer and is guided by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
methodsThe compatibility of the device with the MRI was evaluated by estimating the influence on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The efficacy of the transducer in generating ablative temperatures was evaluated in phantoms and excised porcine tissue.
resultsSystem's activation in the MRI scanner reduced the SNR to an acceptable level without compromising the image quality. The transducer demonstrated efficient heating ability as proved by MR thermometry. Discrete and overlapping thermal lesions were inflicted in excised tissue.
conclusionsThe FUS system was proven effective for FUS thermal applications in the MRI setting. It can thus be used for multiple preclinical applications of the emerging MRI-guided FUS technology. The device can be scaled-up for human use with minor modifications.
