Design and Experimental Setup of a Robotic Medical Instrument for Brachytherapy in Non-Resectable Liver Tumors.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
This paper presents a study regarding the design and the experimental setup of a medical robotic system for brachytherapy using tribology analysis. The robotic system is composed of a collaborative robotic arm and a multi-needle brachytherapy instrument controlled using a unified control system embedding a haptic device and force-feedback. This work is oriented towards identifying the technical characteristics of the system components to determine the accuracy of the procedure, as well as using different scenarios for needle insertion in ex vivo porcine liver tissue in order to determine the forces required for insertion and extraction of the needle and the friction coefficient that accompanies the previously mentioned forces. Subsequent to the computation of the friction forces, the normal forces and the wear during the needle insertion are determined with the scope of predicting the lifecycle of some components of the medical device.
