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
The original stereoelectroencephalography frame-based implantation technique has been proven to be safe and effective. But this procedure is complicated and time-consuming. With the development of modern robotic technology, robot-guided intracerebral electrodes implantation is being implemented at many epilepsy centers. We retrospectively analyzed the results of 147 patients who underwent SEEG electrode implantation surgery at our hospital. Robot-guided surgery was performed on 87 patients from January 2018 to December 2019. The remaining 60 patients received frame-based surgery from June 2015 to June 2016. 147 patients underwent a total of 149 SEEG electrode implantation procedures. The mean error of the entry point of the robot-guided surgery group was lower than that of the frame-based surgery group (1.48 ± 1.46 mm vs. 1.59 ± 0.9 mm, P < 0.001). Also, the robot group had a higher mean number of electrodes per patient (8.9 ± 2.2 vs. 7.9 ± 2.5, P = 0.004), a significantly shorter mean operative time (69.5 ± 23.3 min vs. 106.8 ± 39.8 min, P < 0.001), and mean time per electrode (7.9 ± 1.3 min vs. 13.5 ± 3.1 min, P < 0.001) than the frame-based group. In the robot-guided group, the target point (TP) error was positively correlated with skull thickness (P = 0.001) and negatively correlated with the electrode-skull angle (P = 0.041). The mean target point error and hemorrhage rates were also analyzed, but no differences were observed between the two groups. Robot-guided surgery has a higher entry point accuracy and efficiency. Electrode implantation accuracy was affected by the skull thickness and electrode-skull angle.
