Task Autonomy of a Flexible Endoscopic System for Laser-Assisted Surgery.
Article in Cyborg and bionic systems (Washington, D.C.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Laser beam steering has been widely studied for the automation of surgery. Currently, flexible instruments for laser surgery are operated entirely by surgeons, which keeps the automation of endoluminal surgery at the initial level. This paper introduces the design of a new workflow that enables the task autonomy of laser-assisted surgery in constrained environments such as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with a flexible continuum robotic system. Unlike current, laser steering systems driven by piezoelectric require the use of high voltage and are risky. This paper describes a tendon-driven 2 mm diameter flexible manipulator integrated with an endoscope to steer the laser beam. By separating its motion from the total endoscopic system, the designed flexible manipulator can automatically manipulate the laser beam. After the surgical site is searched by the surgeon with a master/slave control, a population-based model-free control method is applied for the flexible manipulator to achieve accurate laser beam steering while overcoming the noise from the visual feedback and disturbances from environment during operation. Simulations and experiments are performed with the system and control methods to demonstrate the proposed framework in a simulated constrained environment.
