Clinical feasibility of the augmented reality computer-assisted spine surgery system for percutaneous vertebroplasty.
Article 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 13 papers.
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
purposeThis study aimed to demonstrate that the augmented reality computer-assisted spine surgery (ARCASS) system is clinically feasible for percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).
methodsThis prospective case-control study included the patients undergoing PVP under the assistance of the ARCASS system between July 1, 2013, and October 31, 2014. The control group was the age- and gender-matched patients who underwent standard PVP and met the same eligible criteria as the case group. Primary outcome was the frequency of fluoroscopy. Secondary outcomes were the accuracy of bony entry point and operative time.
resultsEighteen patients were included in this study: 9 patients with 11 levels of lesions in the ARCASS group and 9 patients with 10 levels of lesions in the control group. Compared with the control group, the ARCASS group had significantly less frequency of fluoroscopy (6 vs. 18, P < 0.001) and shorter operative time (78 vs. 205 s, P < 0.001) during the process of entry point identification and local anesthesia, which started from the registration of skin entry point at lesion site to the end of bony entry point identification. Regarding accuracy, the ARCASS group had significant greater proportion of 'good' entry point than the control group on lateral views (81.8% vs. 30.0%, P = 0.028) and anteroposterior views (72.7% vs. 20.0%, P = 0.020).
conclusionThis study revealed that the ARCASS system was clinically feasible for PVP. The guidance of ARCASS system provided more accurate bony entry point with reduced operative time and unnecessary radiation exposure.
