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

purposeNavigating with continuous X-ray provides visual guidance, but exposes both surgeon and patient to ionizing radiation, which is associated with serious health risks. Interleaving fluoro snapshots with electromagnetic tracking (EMT) potentially minimizes radiation.

methodsWe propose hybrid EMT + X-ray (HEX), a research framework for navigation with an emphasis on safe experimentation. HEX is based on several hardware and software components that are orchestrated to allow for safe and efficient data acquisition.

resultsIn our study, hybrid navigation reduces radiation by [Formula: see text] with cubic, and by [Formula: see text] with linear error compensation while achieving submillimeter accuracy. Training points for compensation can be reduced by half while keeping a similar accuracy-radiation trade-off.

conclusionThe HEX framework allows to safely and efficiently evaluate the hybrid navigation approach in simulated procedures. Complementing intraoperative X-ray with EMT significantly reduces radiation in the OR, increasing the safety of patients and surgeons.
