An advanced robotic system incorporating haptic feedback for precision cardiac ablation procedures.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
This study introduces an innovative master-slave cardiac ablation catheter robot system that employs magnetorheological fluids. The system incorporates magnetorheological fluid to enable collision detection through haptic feedback, thereby enhancing the operator's situational awareness. A modular clamping and propulsion mechanism has been engineered for the ablation catheter, facilitating omnidirectional operation and force feedback within the cardiac cavity. To evaluate the proposed system, an in vitro experiment was performed. Results from the experiment indicate that the system demonstrates high motion transmission accuracy. Furthermore, the system effectively alerts operators to potential collisions, enabling swift catheter position adjustments, minimizing the risk of vascular perforation, and ultimately enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of the procedure.
