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

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common type of valvular heart disease, affecting over 2% of the world population, and the gold-standard treatment is surgical mitral valve repair/replacement. Compared to open-heart surgeries, minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) using transcatheter approaches have become popular because of their notable benefits such as less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery time. However, commercially available catheters are manually actuated, causing over-exposure of clinical staff to radiation and increased risk of human error during medical interventions. To tackle this problem, in this letter, we propose a telerobotic transcatheter delivery system, which consists of a robotic catheter (5.7 mm OD), a reinforced guide tube (1.11m length), and an actuation system. We present the robotic system design, fabrication of key components, and static model of reinforced quadlumen tube. The robot interface design enables the user to intuitively control the robot. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the telerobotic transcatheter delivery system and reinforced quadlumen tube in a realistic human cardiovascular phantom for preclinical evaluation.
