A Novel Robotic Bronchoscope System for Navigation and Biopsy of Pulmonary Lesions.
Article in Cyborg and bionic systems (Washington, D.C.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Transbronchial biopsy sampling, as a minimally invasive method with relatively low risk, has been proved to be a promising treatment in the field of respiratory surgery. Although several robotic bronchoscopes have been developed, it remains a great challenge to balance size and flexibility, while integrating multisensors to realize navigation during complex airway networks. This paper proposes a novel robotic bronchoscope system composed by end effector with relatively small size, relevant actuation unit, and navigation system with path planning and surgical guidance capability. The main part of the end effector is machined by bidirectional groove on a nickel-titanium tube, which can realize bending, rotation, and translation 3 degrees of freedom. A prototype of the proposed robotic bronchoscope system is designed and fabricated, and its performance is tested through several experiments to verify the stiffness, flexibility, and navigation performance. The results show that the proposed system is with good environment adaptiveness, and it can become a promising biopsy method through natural cavity of the human body.
