Theoretical error analysis of spotlight-based instrument localization for retinal surgery.
Article in Robotica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Retinal surgery is widely considered to be a complicated and challenging task even for specialists. Image-guided robot-assisted intervention is among the novel and promising solutions that may enhance human capabilities therein. In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of using spotlights for 5D guidance of a microsurgical instrument. The theoretical basis of the localization for the instrument based on the projection of a single spotlight is analyzed to deduce the position and orientation of the spotlight source. The usage of multiple spotlights is also proposed to check the possibility of further improvements for the performance boundaries. The proposed method is verified within a high-fidelity simulation environment using the 3D creation suite Blender. Experimental results show that the average positioning error is 0.029 mm using a single spotlight and 0.025 mm with three spotlights, respectively, while the rotational errors are 0.124 and 0.101, which shows the application to be promising in instrument localization for retinal surgery.
