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

purposeThe LIBERTY® Robotic System is a miniature, single-use device designed to facilitate remote-controlled navigation to intravascular targets. We aim to evaluate the robot's performance to manipulate a range of microguidewires and microcatheters during percutaneous endovascular procedures. MATERIALS AND

methodsSix interventional radiologists performed selective robotic-assisted catheterization of eight pre-determined vascular targets in a pig model. The navigation time from the guiding catheter tip to the target vessel was recorded. Each physician with a clinical experience of 20 years completed a questionnaire to evaluate the ease of use, accuracy, and safety of the robotic operation.

resultsMost of the physicians reached the vascular targets in less than one minute. There was no angiographic evidence of vascular injury such as artery laceration or contusion. All physicians reported consensus about the high performance of the robot.

conclusionThe miniature disposable robot is effective at reaching a range of vessels in a porcine model. Physicians found the device intuitive and easy to operate remotely.
