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

Clinical implementation of intraoperative molecular imaging has accelerated by incorporating molecular image-guided decision making into minimal invasive robotic surgery. The resulting digital surgery concepts combine precise molecular image-guided decision making with increased dexterity, with the aim to achieve value-based medicine. In this review several surgically encountered challenges and the technological innovations the field of intraoperative molecular imaging and molecular image-guided robotics, that include navigation in preoperative imaging roadmaps, dosing, imaging and sensing and performance assessment are discussed. Herein specific focus is placed on physical trade-offs between key issues such as penetration depth, spatial resolution and background signal, as well as integration of hybrid tracers and multimodal strategies.
