Augmenting Microsoft's HoloLens with vuforia tracking for neuronavigation.
Article in Healthcare technology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07504211 (Augmenting the On-Scene Medic), which is not on this map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Major hurdles for Microsoft's HoloLens as a tool in medicine have been accessing tracking data, as well as a relatively high-localisation error of the displayed information; cumulatively resulting in its limited use and minimal quantification. The following work investigates the augmentation of HoloLens with the proprietary image processing SDK Vuforia, allowing integration of data from its front-facing RGB camera to provide more spatially stable holograms for neuronavigational use. Continuous camera tracking was able to maintain hologram registration with a mean perceived drift of 1.41 mm, as well as a mean sub 2-mm surface point localisation accuracy of 53%, all while allowing the researcher to walk about a test area. This represents a 68% improvement for the later and a 34% improvement for the former compared with a typical HoloLens deployment used as a control. Both represent a significant improvement on hologram stability given the current state-of-the-art, and to the best of the authors knowledge are the first example of quantified measurements when augmenting hologram stability using data from the RGB sensor.
