Holographic image-guided thoracoscopic surgery: possibility of usefulness for esophageal cancer patients with abnormal artery.
Article in Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 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
backgroundWith the recent improvement of medical image analysis technology, three-dimensional (3D) holograms technology is beginning to be used as intraoperative image support. CASE PRESENTATION: We used a wearable holographic computer during thoracoscopic esophagectomy in a 70-year-old man with esophageal cancer. During lymph node dissection around the right recurrent laryngeal nerve, abnormal blood vessels were observed beside the right subclavian artery (RSA). As a result of confirming the anatomical variation of the right vertebral artery (RVA) using the 3D holograms, it was possible to understand that the RVA branched from a low position on the RSA.
conclusionsHolographic image-guided thoracoscopic esophagectomy using wearable holographic computer provided better spatial recognition of vascular variation and safe lymph node dissection.
