Augmented reality guidance in cerebrovascular surgery using microscopic video enhancement.
Article in Healthcare technology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Cerebrovascular surgery treats vessel abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord, including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and aneurysms. These procedures often involve clipping the vessels feeding blood to these abnormalities, making accurate classification of blood vessel types (feeding versus draining) important during surgery. Previous work to guide the intraoperative identification of the vessels included augmented reality (AR) using pre-operative images, injected dyes, and Doppler ultrasound, but each with their drawbacks. The authors propose and demonstrate a novel technique to help differentiate vessels by enhancing short videos of a few seconds from the surgical microscope using motion magnification and spectral analysis, and constructing AR views that fuse the analysis results as intuitive colourmaps and the surgical microscopic view. They demonstrated the proposed technique retrospectively with two real cerebrovascular surgical cases: one AVM and one aneurysm. The results showed that the proposed technique can help characterise different vessel types (feeding and draining the abnormality), which agree with those identified by the operating surgeon.
