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

backgroundWith advances in science and technology, the application of artificial intelligence in medicine has significantly progressed. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) machine learning method can identify three milling states based on vibration signals: cancellous bone (CCB), ventral cortical bone (VCB), and penetration (PT) in robot-assisted cervical laminectomy.

methodsCervical laminectomies were performed on the cervical segments of eight pigs using a robot. First, the bilateral dorsal cortical bone and part of the CCB were milled with a 5 mm blade and then the bilateral laminae were milled to penetration with a 2 mm blade. During the milling process using the 2 mm blade, the vibration signals were collected by the acceleration sensor, and the harmonic components were extracted using fast Fourier transform. The feature vectors were constructed with vibration signal amplitudes of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kHz and the KNN was then trained by the features vector to predict the milling states.

resultsThe amplitudes of the vibration signals between VCB and PT were statistically different at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kHz (P < 0.05), and the amplitudes of the vibration signals between CCB and VCB were significantly different at 0.5 and 1.5 kHz (P < 0.05). The KNN recognition success rates for the CCB, VCB, and PT were 92%, 98%, and 100%, respectively. A total of 6% and 2% of the CCB cases were identified as VCB and PT, respectively; 2% of VCB cases were identified as PT.

conclusionsThe KNN can distinguish different milling states of a high-speed bur in robot-assisted cervical laminectomy based on vibration signals. This method is feasible for improving the safety of posterior cervical decompression surgery.
