Robot-Assisted Peripheral Retinal Visualization during Vitrectomy without Scleral Depression: A First-In-Human Comparative Study.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and short-term safety of peripheral retinal visualization using an intraocular endoscope-holding robot (OQrimo) without scleral depression during vitrectomy, compared with conventional methods. Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, comparative, single-center study. Participants: Sixteen eyes of 16 patients undergoing 25-gauge vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification for epiretinal membrane. Methods: Eight eyes underwent peripheral retinal visualization using the OQrimo system without scleral depression (robot group), and 8 eyes underwent conventional visualization (control group). The range of endoscopic visualization was assessed. Additional outcomes included postoperative inflammation (measured by laser flare photometry), intraoperative pain, surgical time, wound evaluation using anterior segment OCT, and intraoperative or postoperative complications. Main Outcome Measures: Feasibility of peripheral retinal visualization and short-term safety outcomes, including intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: Robot-assisted visualization without scleral depression was successfully achieved in 7 of 8 eyes in the robot group (87.5%). One intraoperative device-related event (endoscope breakage) occurred without patient injury. Postoperative flare values at 3 hours, 24 hours, and 1 week were comparable between groups (all Conclusions: Robot-assisted peripheral retinal visualization without scleral depression using the OQrimo system is technically feasible and demonstrates a comparable short-term safety profile to conventional surgery, despite longer operative times in this initial series.
