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

backgroundAlthough stereotactic frame-based techniques remain widely used for deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation, robot-assisted procedures have demonstrated improved accuracy, enhanced precision, and reduced operative time. Our team has over two decades of experience in robot-assisted surgery and intraoperative imaging.

methodWe detail our current surgical workflow for DBS implantation, combining the Neuromate robot (Renishaw), the NeuroLocate frameless registration module, and intraoperative cone-beam CT imaging using the O-Arm system (Medtronic).

conclusionThis approach provides a safe, efficient, and reproducible alternative to traditional methods, supporting its broader adoption in modern functional neurosurgery.
