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

purposePars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the most common surgical procedure performed by retinal specialists, highlighting the need for model-based assistance and automation in surgical treatment. An intraoperative retinal model provides precise anatomical information relative to the surgical instrument, enhancing surgical precision and safety.

methodsThis work focuses on the intraoperative parametrization of retinal shape using 1D instrument-integrated optical coherence tomography distance measurements combined with a surgical robot. Our approach accommodates variability in eye geometries by transitioning from an initial spherical model to an ellipsoidal representation, improving accuracy as more data is collected through sensor motion.

resultsWe demonstrate that ellipsoid fitting outperforms sphere fitting for regular eye shapes, achieving a mean absolute error of less than 40

conclusionThe adaptive eye model developed in this work meets the accuracy requirements for clinical application in PPV within the central retina. Additionally, the global model effectively extrapolates beyond the scanned area to encompass the retinal periphery.This capability enhances PPV procedures, particularly through virtual boundary assistance and improved surgical navigation, ultimately contributing to safer surgical outcomes.
