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

purposeAssessment of the clinical feasibility of robot-assisted endovascular visceral interventions to reduce physical strain caused by prolonged standing and enabling remote interventions. MATERIAL AND

methodsBetween 05/2024 and 09/2024, 45 patients were included in this prospective, single-center study. Patients scheduled for elective endovascular abdominal and pelvic interventions with superselective catheterization were assigned to manual (27 patients) or robotic-assisted treatment (18 patients). Radiation dose of the interventionalist, examination time (including preparation and follow-up), procedure duration and fluoroscopy time were compared between procedures using the CorPath GRX platform (Corindus, Waltham, MA) and conventional procedures. Technical success of robotic interventions was defined as achieving stable microcatheter positioning at the predefined target treatment point in the target vessel under robotic navigation, allowing execution of the planned therapy without conversion to manual navigation.

results18 patients underwent robotic-assisted interventions (mean age 68 ± 12 years; 15 male), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) (n = 9),

conclusionFindings from this pilot case series indicate that robotic-assisted endovascular visceral interventions are feasible and demonstrate a high technical success rate, while simultaneously providing the interventionalist zero radiation exposure through remote operation from the control room.
