Advancing minimally invasive surgery: A cutting-edge cable-actuated conveying mechanism for reliable tissue transportation.

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
introductionTissue extraction plays a crucial role in various medical disciplines, with aspiration catheters serving as the prevailing method. Unfortunately, these catheters face limitations such as clogging and dependence on tissue properties and device dimensions. Therefore, there is a pressing need for an improved tissue extraction device that enables efficient and reliable tissue removal during Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS).
methodsIn this study, we present a novel tissue transport system that utilizes a cylindrical conveyor belt mechanism for reliable tissue transportation. We conducted experiments using a proof-of-principle prototype to explore the influence of tissue elasticity, rotational velocity, instrument orientation, and tissue shape on the transportation rate, efficiency, and reliability. Tissue phantoms with gelatine concentrations of 3, 9, and 12 wt% were employed to simulate a range of Young's moduli from 1 to 110 kPa.
resultsThe mean transportation rates for these phantoms were 7.75±0.48, 8.43±1.50, and 8.90±0.56 g/min, respectively. Notably, all phantoms were transported successfully. The perfect reliability exhibited underscores the potential of our instrument as an alternative to aspiration catheters.
conclusionThis research presents a significant step forward in the field of tissue extraction, offering a promising approach for MIS with enhanced efficiency and reliability.
