Augmented reality and artificial intelligence-based navigation during percutaneous vertebroplasty: a pilot randomised clinical trial.
Trial report in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
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
purposeTo assess technical feasibility, accuracy, safety and patient radiation exposure of a novel navigational tool integrating augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI), during percutaneous vertebroplasty of patients with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). MATERIAL AND
methodsThis prospective parallel randomised open trial compared the trans-pedicular access phase of percutaneous vertebroplasty across two groups of 10 patients, electronically randomised, with symptomatic single-level VCFs. Trocar insertion was performed using AR/AI-guidance with motion compensation in Group A, and standard fluoroscopy in Group B. The primary endpoint was technical feasibility in Group A. Secondary outcomes included the comparison of Groups A and B in terms of accuracy of trocar placement (distance between planned/actual trajectory on sagittal/coronal fluoroscopic images); complications; time for trocar deployment; and radiation dose/fluoroscopy time.
resultsTechnical feasibility in Group A was 100%. Accuracy in Group A was 1.68 ± 0.25 mm (skin entry point), and 1.02 ± 0.26 mm (trocar tip) in the sagittal plane, and 1.88 ± 0.28 mm (skin entry point) and 0.86 ± 0.17 mm (trocar tip) in the coronal plane, without any significant difference compared to Group B (p > 0.05). No complications were observed in the entire population. Time for trocar deployment was significantly longer in Group A (642 ± 210 s) than in Group B (336 ± 60 s; p = 0.001). Dose-area product and fluoroscopy time were significantly lower in Group A (182.6 ± 106.7 mGy cm
conclusionAR/AI-guided percutaneous vertebroplasty appears feasible, accurate and safe, and facilitates lower patient radiation exposure compared to standard fluoroscopic guidance. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
