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

Soft robotics have propelled advancements in medical applications such as endovascular interventions through the development of soft steerable catheters. Despite their potential, existing catheters often require intricate manufacturing or complex control systems due to their inherent hysteresis and nonlinear material properties. This study introduces a novel catheter system featuring a 3D-printed hollow tip with two pneumatic bending units, facilitating rotation about two distinct axes without the need for additional fabrication steps. Finite element analysis simulations were used to optimize the catheter design while minimizing its diameter to 6.4 mm. Furthermore, an external robotic control system was integrated to perform physical experiments to assess the bending capabilities of the catheter tip. After calibration, the system exhibited proficient shape control, achieving a wide bending range from -47° to 169° under the integrated control system, and effectively conforming to 'C', 'S', and 'J' configurations with 0.53 degrees closed-loop accuracy. The catheter prototype demonstrated low hysteresis and high repeatability. The entire catheter system presents a pragmatic and cost-effective approach for the rapid prototyping and development of pneumatic steerable catheters. This novel system is ideally suited for testing preliminary concepts and educational applications in endovascular interventions.
