Robotic Assistance for Intraocular Microsurgery: Challenges and Perspectives.
Article in Proceedings of the IEEE. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Intraocular surgery, one of the most challenging discipline of microsurgery, requires sensory and motor skills at the limits of human physiological capabilities combined with tremendously difficult requirements for accuracy and steadiness. Nowadays, robotics combined with advanced imaging has opened conspicuous and significant directions in advancing the field of intraocular microsurgery. Having patient treatment with greater safety and efficiency as the final goal, similar to other medical applications, robotics has a real potential to fundamentally change microsurgery by combining human strengths with computer and sensor-based technology in an information-driven environment. Still in its early stages, robotic assistance for intraocular microsurgery has been accepted with precaution in the operating room and successfully tested in a limited number of clinical trials. However, owing to its demonstrated capabilities including hand tremor reduction, haptic feedback, steadiness, enhanced dexterity, micrometer-scale accuracy, and others, microsurgery robotics has evolved as a very promising trend in advancing retinal surgery. This paper will analyze the advances in retinal robotic microsurgery, its current drawbacks and limitations, as well as the possible new directions to expand retinal microsurgery to techniques currently beyond human boundaries or infeasible without robotics.
