Feasibility and safety report on robotic assistance for cervical pedicle screw fixation: a cadaveric study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This cadaveric study aimed to evaluate the safety and usability of a novel robotic system for posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation. Three human cadaveric specimens and C2-T3 were included. Freshly frozen human cadaver specimens were prepared and subjected to robot-assisted posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation using the robotic system. The accuracy of screw placement, breach rate, and critical structure violations were evaluated. The results were statistically compared with those of previous studies that used different robotic systems for cervical pedicle screw fixation. The robotic system demonstrated a high accuracy rate in screw placement. A significant number of screws were placed within predetermined safe zones. The total entry offset was 1.08 ± 0.83 mm, the target offset was 1.86 ± 0.50 mm, and the angle offset was 2.14 ± 0.77°. Accuracy rates comparable with those of previous studies using different robotic systems were achieved. The system was also feasible, allowing precise navigation and real-time feedback during the procedure. This cadaveric study validated the safety and usability of the novel robotic system for posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation. The system exhibited high precision in screw placement, and the results support the extension of the indications for robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation from the lumbar spine to the cervical spine.
