Accuracy and safety of robotic navigation-assisted distraction osteogenesis for hemifacial microsomia.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Introduction: This study aimed to verify the accuracy and safety of distraction osteogenesis for hemifacial microsomia assisted by a robotic navigation system based on artificial intelligence. Methods: The small sample early-phase single-arm clinical study, available at http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx, included children aged three years and older diagnosed with unilateral hemifacial microsomia (Pruzansky-Kaban type II). A preoperative design was performed, and an intelligent robotic navigation system assisted in the intraoperative osteotomy. The primary outcome was the accuracy of distraction osteogenesis, including the positional and angular errors of the osteotomy plane and the distractor, by comparing the preoperative design plan with the actual images one week postoperatively. Perioperative indicators, pain scales, satisfaction scales, and complications at one week were also analyzed. Results: Four cases (mean 6.5 years, 3 type IIa and 1 type IIb deformity) were included. According to the craniofacial images one week after surgery, the osteotomy plane positional error was 1.77 ± 0.12 mm, and the angular error was 8.94 ± 4.13°. The positional error of the distractor was 3.67 ± 0.23 mm, and the angular error was 8.13 ± 2.73°. Postoperative patient satisfaction was high, and no adverse events occurred. Discussion: The robotic navigation-assisted distraction osteogenesis in hemifacial microsomia is safe, and the operational precision meets clinical requirements. Its clinical application potential is to be further explored and validated.
