A large, paired dataset of robotic and handheld lumbar spine ultrasound with ground-truth CT benchmarking.
Article in Scientific data, 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
Musculoskeletal disorders present significant socio-economic challenges globally, requiring innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Current intraoperative imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT) and radiography, involve high radiation exposure and limited soft tissue visualization. Ultrasound (US) offers a non-invasive, real-time alternative but is underutilized intraoperatively, as it is highly observer-dependent. US enhanced by artificial intelligence shows high potential for observer-independent surgical guidance, decision support, and robot-assisted applications in orthopedics. Given the limited availability of high-quality, in vivo ultrasound data, we introduce a comprehensive dataset from a collection of handheld 2D US (HUS) and robot-assisted US (RUS) lumbar spine imaging in 63 healthy volunteers. This dataset includes demographic data, HUS and RUS imaging with synchronized 3D positioning data of the US probe, corresponding CT data, and CT-reconstructed 3D models of the lumbar vertebrae L1 to L5, establishing a robust baseline for machine learning algorithms. This extensive collection is the first anatomy dataset for the lumbar spine that includes paired CT, HUS, and RUS imaging, supporting advancements in intraoperative imaging and robot-assisted surgery.
