Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07334964 (Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Infiltration), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

Abstract

backgroundEndovascular procedures are the preferred method for treating peripheral arterial disease. However, limited imaging options during these procedures, such as X-rays and contrast media, expose patients and healthcare professionals to potentially harmful radiation. This study introduces a robotic ultrasound system (RUSS) for navigating endovascular procedures in order to reduce radiation and provide additional information.

methodsThe RUSS comprises a seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm that navigates an ultrasound transducer across a specific region of interest. The system is controlled by a self-programed software designed to navigate the robotic arm in a methodical and reproducible manner using a foot switch.

resultsAn endovascular surgeon investigated the guidance and visibility of various guidewires and successfully implanted three stents in a vascular leg phantom using the RUSS without further radiation exposure.

conclusionsThe innovative set-up has several potential applications, including radiation-free endovascular procedures as well as health screening and diagnostic support in vascular medicine.
