Bimanual Manipulation of Steady-Hand Eye Robots with Adaptive Sclera Force Control: Cooperative vs. Teleoperation Strategies.
Article in IEEE transactions on human-machine systems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Performing retinal vein cannulation (RVC) as a potential treatment for retinal vein occlusion (RVO) without the assistance of a surgical robotic system is very challenging to do safely. The main limitation is the physiological hand tremor of surgeons. Robot-assisted eye surgery technology may resolve the problems of hand tremors and fatigue and improve the safety and precision of RVC. The Steady-Hand Eye Robot (SHER) is an admittance-based robotic system that can filter out hand tremors and enables ophthalmologists to manipulate a surgical instrument inside the eye cooperatively. However, the admittance-based cooperative control mode does not safely minimize the contact force between the surgical instrument and the sclera to prevent tissue damage. In addition, features such as haptic feedback or hand motion scaling, which can improve the safety and precision of surgery, require a teleoperation control framework. This work presents, for the first time in the field of robot-assisted retinal microsurgery research, a registration-free bimanual adaptive teleoperation (BMAT) control framework using SHER 2.0 and SHER 2.1 robotic systems. Both SHERs are integrated with an adaptive force control (AFC) algorithm that dynamically and automatically minimizes the tool-sclera interaction forces, enforcing them within a safe limit. The scleral forces are measured using two fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based force-sensing tools. The performance of the proposed BMAT control framework is evaluated by comparison with a bimanual adaptive cooperative (BMAC) framework in a vessel-following experiment conducted under a surgical microscope. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the BMAT control framework in performing a safe bimanual telemanipulation of the eye without over-stretching it, even in the absence of registration between the two robots.
