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

purposeOrbital decompression surgery, which expands the volume of the orbit by removing sections of the orbital walls with a drill and saw, is an important treatment option for thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. However, it is often limited by physical factors such as a narrow operating space and instability of the manual holding of surgical instruments, which constrains doctors from accurately executing surgical planning.

methodsTo overcome these limitations, we designed a surgical robot comprising position adjustment, remote center of motion, and end-effector with a rapid surgical instrument assembly mechanisms. Additionally, to guide surgical robots in precisely performing preoperative surgical planning, we constructed a surgical navigation system comprising preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative optical navigation subsystems. An internally complementary orbital surgical robot system in which the navigation system, optical tracker, and surgical robot and its motion control system serve as the decision-making, perception, and execution layers of the system, respectively, was developed.

resultsThe results of precision measurement experiments revealed that the absolute and repeated pose accuracies of the surgical robot satisfied the design requirements. As verified by animal experiments, the precision of osteotomy and bone drilling operation of orbital surgical robot system can meet the clinical technical indicators.

conclusionThe developed orbital surgical robotic system for orbital decompression surgery could perform routine operations such as drilling and sawing on the orbital bone with assistance and supervision from surgeons. The feasibility and reliability of the orbital surgical robot system were comprehensively verified through accuracy measurements and animal experiments.
