3D Visualisation of Navigation Catheters for Endovascular Procedures Using a 3D Hub and Fiber Optic RealShape Technology: Phantom Study Results.

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
Objective: Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) is a new technology that visualises the full three dimensional (3D) shape of guidewires using an optical fibre embedded in the device. Co-registering FORS guidewires with anatomical images, such as a digital subtraction angiography (DSA), provides anatomical context for navigating these devices during endovascular procedures. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and usability of visualising compatible conventional navigation catheters, together with the FORS guidewire, in phantom with a new 3D Hub technology and to understand potential clinical benefits. Methods: The accuracy of localising the 3D Hub and catheter in relation to the FORS guidewire, was evaluated using a translation stage test setup and a retrospective analysis of prior clinical data. Catheter visualisation accuracy and navigation success was assessed in a phantom study where 15 interventionists navigated devices to three pre-defined targets in an abdominal aortic phantom using an Xray or computed tomography angiography (CTA) roadmap. Additionally, the interventionists were surveyed about the usability and potential benefits of the 3D Hub. Results: The location of the 3D Hub and catheter along the FORS guidewire was detected correctly 96.59% of the time. During the phantom study, all 15 interventionists successfully reached the target locations 100% of the time and the error in catheter visualisation was 0.69 mm. The interventionists agreed or strongly agreed that the 3D Hub was easy to use and the greatest potential clinical benefit over FORS is in offering interventionists choice over which catheter they used. Conclusion: This set of studies has shown that FORS guided catheter visualisation, enabled by a 3D Hub, is accurate and easy to use in a phantom setting. Further evaluation is needed to understand the benefits and limitations of the 3D Hub technology during endovascular procedures.
