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

This paper presents a new design solution for a neurosurgery-assisting device (NeurADe) based on a 3-RPS parallel kinematic mechanism. The NeurADe design employs compact linear actuators to accurately insert a cannula into specific areas of the brain. The CAD design and assembly of a prototype are discussed in this paper. The preliminary NeurADe prototype features 3D printed parts and incorporates mechanical and electrical components, which are designed for ease of use and lightweight functionality. For design validation and operational characterization, sensors measuring current, acceleration, and force data were utilized, and testing results are discussed to prove the feasibility of the proposed design.
