Collaborative robot acting as scrub nurse for cataract surgery (CRASCS).
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Worldwide, healthcare systems are struggling to tackle a nursing shortage. As per the data released by the American Hospital Association, the healthcare workforce could face a loss of around 5 lakh nurses by the end of the year. Consequently, it could result in those deficiencies, which will be 1.1 million instead of 0.6 million. The current nursing scenario in India as per the Indian Nursing Council (INC), which is a board under the ministry and is responsible for legally confirming and maintaining universal standardized training for nursing, is that the 1.96 nurses out of every 1000 Indians that are there are much behind the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommended figure of 3 nurses per 1000. To mitigate the nurse shortage, a collaborative robotic system was designed that can assist with surgical procedures with a collaborative robot acting as a scrub nurse for cataract surgery (CRASCS) represented in Fig. 1. Accordingly, the model has been built to empower a customized 3d printed 5-Degree of freedom robotic arm by tracking the phase of surgery in real-time and automatically supplying the clinician with the ideal equipment that is needed for the particular phase of surgery. The system is supported with one more model which can identify where the surgical equipment is located within the arm range. The system is also supported with voice commands which help in picking up the right surgical equipment in the middle of any phase of the surgery. In this way, the system could be able to potentially handle the shortage of surgical nurses around the world and benefit humanity.
