Efficiency, Accuracy and Clinical Applicability of a New Image-Guided Surgery System in 3D Laparoscopic Liver Surgery.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
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
backgroundTo investigate efficiency, accuracy and clinical benefit of a new augmented reality system for 3D laparoscopic liver surgery.
methodsAll patients who received laparoscopic liver resection by a new image-guided surgery system with augmented 3D-imaging in a university hospital were included for analysis. Digitally processed preoperative cross-sectional imaging was merged with the laparoscopic image. Intraoperative efficiency of the procedure was measured as time needed to achieve sufficient registration accuracy. Technical accuracy was reported as fiducial registration error (FRE). Clinical benefit was assessed trough a questionnaire, reporting measures in a 5-point Likert scale format ranging from 1 (high) to 5 (low).
resultsFrom January to March 2018, ten laparoscopic liver resections of a total of 18 lesions were performed using the novel augmented reality system. Median time for registration was 8:50 min (range 1:31-23:56). The mean FRE was reduced from 14.0 mm (SD 5.0) in the first registration attempt to 9.2 mm (SD 2.8) in the last attempt. The questionnaire revealed the ease of use of the system (1.2, SD 0.4) and the benefit for resection of vanishing lesions (1.0, SD 0.0) as convincing positive aspects, whereas image registration accuracy for resection guidance was consistently judged as too inaccurate.
conclusionsAugmented reality in 3D laparoscopic liver surgery with landmark-based registration technique is feasible with only little impact on the intraoperative workflow. The benefit for detecting particularly vanishing lesions is high. For an additional benefit during the resection process, registration accuracy has to be improved and non-rigid registration algorithms will be required to address intraoperative anatomical deformation.
