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

Pedicle screw insertion with robot assistance dramatically improves surgical accuracy and safety when compared with manual implantation. In developing such a system, hand-eye calibration is an essential component that aims to determine the transformation between a position tracking and robot-arm systems. In this paper, we propose an effective hand-eye calibration method, namely registration-based hand-eye calibration (RHC), which estimates the calibration transformation via point set registration without the need to solve the AX=XB equation. Our hand-eye calibration method consists of tool-tip pivot calibrations in two-coordinate systems, in addition to paired-point matching, where the point pairs are generated via the steady movement of the robot arm in space. After calibration, our system allows for robot-assisted, image-guided pedicle screw insertion. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to verify the efficacy of the proposed hand-eye calibration method. A mean distance deviation of 0.70 mm and a mean angular deviation of 0.68° are achieved by our system when the proposed hand-eye calibration method is used. Further experiments on drilling trajectories are conducted on plastic vertebrae as well as pig vertebrae. A mean distance deviation of 1.01 mm and a mean angular deviation of 1.11° are observed when the drilled trajectories are compared with the planned trajectories on the pig vertebrae.
