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

Three-dimensional (3D) localization of magneto-surgical devices is essential for safe and efficient navigation. However, existing magnetic localization methods either limit device miniaturization due to internal sensors or require additional excitation fields and external sensor arrays. Herein, we formulate a localization method based on the special properties of rotating magnetic dipoles, which allow reconstruction of position and rotation axis from a single external tri-axial magnetometer. The rotating dipole is realized through a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) that can reversibly (un)lock using the heat-induced phase transition of a low melting point alloy. Sequential localization and manipulation is performed by an external mobile electromagnet equipped with a single eye-in-hand Hall effect sensor. We describe the PMSM's thermal and magnetic properties, formulate the governing localization equations, quantify and validate 3D tracking of PMSM pose trajectory, and demonstrate sequential localization and manipulation in a benchtop experiment.
