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

purposeCurrently, the rigid instruments used for laparoscopic radical resection of prostate cancer not only have the risk of damage to tissues, blood vessels, and nerves, but their limited freedom will also cause surgical blind areas. Soft robots are expected to solve these issues due to inherent flexibility, compliance, and safe interaction with tissues and organs. In addition, to achieve high surgical accuracy and provide precise guidance for surgeons, the navigation method should be studied for the soft robot.

methodsA soft robot system for single-port transvesical radical prostatectomy (STRP) is developed, and a navigation method combining fiber Bragg gratings and electromagnetic tracking is proposed for the soft robot. To validate the soft robot design and the effectiveness of the navigation method, different groups of experiments are conducted.

resultsThe proposed navigation method can achieve accurate location and shape sensing of the soft manipulator. The experiments show that the maximum tip sensing error is 2.691 mm, which is 5.38

conclusionsThe designed soft robot system, due to its soft structure, good flexibility, and accurate navigation, is expected to improve surgical safety and precision, thereby exhibiting significant potential for STRP.
