Electromagnetic Tracking System for Medical Micro Devices: A Review.
Review in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become increasingly favored by both patients and surgeons owing to its advantages such as shortened recovery times and reduced surgical trauma. To enhance intraoperative feedback from surgical instruments while minimizing harmful radiation exposure, a wide range of electromagnetic tracking systems (EMTS) has been developed at micro scales for medical applications. This review provides a comprehensive summary of advances in the field over the past five years, with an emphasis on the working principles of EMTS, system architecture, current research progress, and clinical applications. In comparison to other review papers, this article focuses specifically on EMTS for medical micro-devices, such as robotic catheters, endoscopes, and capsule robots. Moreover, Representative research studies and commercial systems are presented along with their clinical implementations, placing greater emphasis on the translation of EMTS into medical applications. Finally, this review outlines and discusses future research directions, highlighting major challenges and potential opportunities for advancing the integration of EMTS into routine clinical workflows.
