Expansion of stereotactic work envelope using transformation matrices and geometric algebra for neurosurgery.

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
Stereotactic systems have traditionally used Cartesian coordinate combined with linear algebraic mathematical models to navigate the brain. Previously, the development of a novel stereotactic system allowed for improved patient comfort, reduced size, and carried through a simplified interface for surgeons. The system was designed with a work envelope and trajectory range optimized for deep brain stimulation applications only. However, it could be applied in multiple realms of neurosurgery by spanning the entire brain. To this end, a system of translational and rotational adapters was developed to allow total brain navigation capabilities. Adapters were designed to fit onto a Skull Anchor Key of a stereotactic frame system to allow for rotation and translation of the work envelope. Mathematical formulas for the rotations and translations associated with each adapter were developed. Mechanical and image-guided accuracies were examined using a ground truth imaging phantom. The system's clinical workflow and its ability to reliably and accurately be used in a surgical scenario were investigated using a cadaver head and computed tomography guidance. Eight adapters designed and 3D-printed allowed the work envelope to be expanded to the entire head. The mechanical error was 1.75 ± 0.09 mm (
