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

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an indispensable imaging modality for the diagnosis and management of many common eye diseases. We previously presented a fixed-base robotic OCT system to enable automated imaging and alleviate the necessity for restricted patient posture required by traditional clinical OCT. To adapt our system to diverse clinic environments, we introduce a mobile robotic OCT system designed for imaging patients in diverse clinical configurations. Our system includes a robot arm, a vertical motorized lift, and a wheeled cart housing essential components for the entire system, and is equipped with real-time motion planning algorithms for head movement tracking and obstacle avoidance during imaging sessions. We validate the system's workspace through robot kinematics and clinical simulation, evaluate dynamic tracking accuracy in real world experiments, and demonstrate obstacle avoidance capability in both simulation and real world. These features will allow us to perform OCT imaging in real clinical settings in the near future.
