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

backgroundSpinal surgery navigation is a current research hotspot, with no reports on dynamic structured light navigation. This study explores a single 3D structured light system, utilizing one structured light camera to continuously emit light during surgery for dynamic guidance in pedicle screw placement.To investigate the methodology and principles governing minimally invasive puncture navigation utilizing single dynamic three-dimensional (3D) structured light, and evaluate its feasibility and accuracy.

methodsNineteen bovine lumbar spine bone experimental models were used. Performing percutaneous minimally invasive pedicle screw placement. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were performed, 3D reconstructions were generated, and a screw pathway was designed. Intraoperative registration was then conducted, and the navigation channel was adjusted to align with the planned screw pathway. Kirschner wires were inserted, and their positions were graded using the Gertzbein–Robbins (G–R) scale. The alignment of the CT images and actual morphology was assessed. The entry and exit point 3D coordinates were collected before and after surgery to calculate offset values and angles.

resultsA total of 218 Kirschner wires were inserted, all achieving a grade of level A on the G–R scale, for a puncture accuracy of 100%. The intraoperative root mean squared was 0.442 ± 0.091 mm, and the point cloud-to-surface distance was 0.01 ± 0.007 mm. The preoperative and postoperative entry point offset was 1.044 ± 0.35 mm, respectively, and 1.439 ± 0.524 mm at the exit point. The screw path deviation was 1.12 ± 0.576º. A high correlation was observed in the distribution of entry and exit points both preoperatively and postoperatively. Trajectory deviations primarily occurred during wire insertion.

conclusionThe single 3D structured light system enabled simultaneous real-time intraoperative scene scanning, static registration, and dynamic instrument tracking, facilitating high-precision navigation for minimally invasive puncture procedures.
