Three-dimensional structured-light robot-assisted frameless versus frame-based stereotactic brain biopsy: a retrospective study of 54 patients.

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
Introduction: This study was performed to evaluate the surgical efficiency, localization accuracy, biopsy success rate, and operative safety of three-dimensional (3D) structured-light robot-assisted stereotactic brain biopsy using the Huake Precision SR1-3D system. Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 54 patients who underwent stereotactic brain biopsy in the Department of Neurosurgery, at Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital between February 2017 and November 2022. Among them, 27 patients underwent frame-based stereotactic brain biopsy using the Anke system, and 27 patients underwent robotic-assisted frame-less stereotactic brain biopsy using the Huake Precision SR1-3D structured-light robot. The registration error of the Sinovation software based 3D structured-light facial scan was assessed. Operative time, diagnostic yield, incidence of adverse surgical events, length of hospital stay, surgical costs, entry-point error, and target-point error were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 54 patients were analyzed, including 27 in the robot-assisted group and 27 in the frame-based group. The mean registration error of the 3D structured-light facial scan was 0.31 ± 0.07 mm. The mean operative time in the robot-assisted group was significantly shorter than that in the frame-based group ( Conclusion: This study found that, 3D structured-light robot-assisted stereotactic brain biopsy is associated with shorter operative times and reduced localization error compared to frame-based stereotactic brain biopsy, demonstrating favorable precision and procedural efficiency.
