Oribron: An Origami-Inspired Deformable Rigid Bronchoscope for Radial Support.
Article in Micromachines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The structure of a traditional rigid bronchoscope includes proximal, distal, and body, representing an important means to treat hypoxic diseases. However, the body structure is too simple, resulting in the utilization rate of oxygen being usually low. In this work, we reported a deformable rigid bronchoscope (named Oribron) by adding a Waterbomb origami structure to the body. The Waterbomb's backbone is made of films, and the pneumatic actuators are placed inside it to achieve rapid deformation at low pressure. Experiments showed that Waterbomb has a unique deformation mechanism, which can transform from a small-diameter configuration (#1) to a large-diameter configuration (#2), showing excellent radial support capability. When Oribron entered or left the trachea, the Waterbomb remained in #1. When Oribron is working, the Waterbomb transforms from #1 to #2. Since #2 reduces the gap between the bronchoscope and the tracheal wall, it effectively slows down the rate of oxygen loss, thus promoting the absorption of oxygen by the patient. Therefore, we believe that this work will provide a new strategy for the integrated development of origami and medical devices.
