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

backgroundPercutaneous pulmonary interventions require extensive and accurate navigation planning and guidance, especially in regard to the three-dimensional (3D) relationships between anatomical structures. In this study, we are demonstrating the feasibility of novel visualization techniques: 3D printing (3DP) and augmented reality (AR) in planning transcatheter pulmonary interventions.

methodsTwo patients were qualified for balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and stent implantation for pulmonary artery stenosis, respectively. Computed tomography images of both patients were processed with segmentation algorithms and subsequently submitted to 3D modelling software. Microsoft HoloLens

resultsPersonalized life-sized models of the same structures were additionally 3D-printed for preoperative planning. Holograms were shown to physicians throughout the procedure and were used as a guidance and navigation tool. Operative team was able to manipulate the hologram and multiple users of the AR system could share the same image in real time. Clinicians expressed their satisfaction with the quality of imaging and potential clinical benefits.

conclusionsThis study reports the potential value of AR in pulmonary interventions, however, prospective trials need to be conducted to decide on whether novel 3D visualization techniques affect perioperative treatment and outcomes.
