Does An Augmented Reality-based Portable Navigation System Improve the Accuracy of Acetabular Component Orientation During THA? A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 5 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
backgroundWe developed an augmented reality (AR)-based portable navigation system in which the surgeon can view the pelvic plane and placement angle of an acetabular cup on the display of a smartphone during THA. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: (1) Is acetabular component placement more accurate using the AR-based portable navigation system compared with the conventional freehand technique? (2) Is intraoperative measurement of placement angle more accurate when using the AR-based portable navigation system compared with a goniometer?
methodsForty-six patients were randomly assigned to undergo acetabular cup placement during THA using the AR-based portable navigation system (AR navigation group) or placement of a mechanical alignment guide (conventional group). All surgeries were performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position. We compared the absolute value of the difference between the targeted placement angle and postoperative measured placement angle between the groups using two types of imaging (radiography and CT).
resultsIn terms of radiographic inclination, the mean differences between the targeted placement angle and postoperative measured angle were smaller in the AR navigation group than in the conventional group for both radiographs and CT images (2.3° ± 1.4° versus 3.9° ± 2.4°, respectively; p = 0.009 and 1.9° ± 1.3° versus 3.4° ± 2.6°, respectively; p = 0.02). There were no differences in radiographic anteversion between the two groups. No complications were associated with the use of the AR-based portable navigation system.
conclusionsThis system yielded no differences in acetabular anteversion accuracy, and no clinically important differences in acetabular inclination. Therefore, at this time we cannot recommend this device as its costs and risks cannot be justified based on the absence of a clinically meaningful difference in cup placement accuracy. Although we detected no complications, this was a small series, and this approach adds both surgical time and pins in the ilium. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, therapeutic study.
