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

Pedicle screw placement is the gold standard for spinal pathologies that require surgical stabilization. Accurate screw placement is important to avoid severe complications, but ensuring accuracy remains a challenge. This work proposes an optical camera-based robot-assisted drilling system for spine surgery. Preoperative CT scans are used to plan screw trajectories in both synthetic phantoms and
