Augmented reality for inner ear procedures: visualization of the cochlear central axis in microscopic videos.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 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
purposeVisualization of the cochlea is impossible due to the delicate and intricate ear anatomy. Augmented reality may be used to perform auditory nerve implantation by transmodiolar approach in patients with profound hearing loss.
methodsWe present an augmented reality system for the visualization of the cochlear axis in surgical videos. The system starts with an automatic anatomical landmark detection in preoperative computed tomography images based on deep reinforcement learning. These landmarks are used to register the preoperative geometry with the real-time microscopic video captured inside the auditory canal. Three-dimensional pose of the cochlear axis is determined using the registration projection matrices. In addition, the patient microscope movements are tracked using an image feature-based tracking process.
resultsThe landmark detection stage yielded an average localization error of [Formula: see text] mm ([Formula: see text]). The target registration error was [Formula: see text] mm for the cochlear apex and [Formula: see text] for the cochlear axis.
conclusionWe developed an augmented reality system to visualize the cochlear axis in intraoperative videos. The system yielded millimetric accuracy and remained stable throughout the experimental study despite camera movements throughout the procedure in experimental conditions.
