Augmented reality with HoloLens in parotid surgery: how to assess and to improve accuracy.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purposeAugmented reality improves planning and execution of surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a 3D augmented reality hologram in live parotic surgery. Another goal was to develop an accuracy measuring instrument and to determine the accuracy of the system.
methodsWe created a software to build and manually align 2D and 3D augmented reality models generated from MRI data onto the patient during surgery using the HoloLens
resultsThe accuracy of our system was measured during real surgical procedures. Training of the experimenters and the use of fiducial markers significantly reduced the accuracy of holographic system (p = 0.0166 and p = 0.0132). Precision of the developed measuring system was very high with a mean error of the basic system of 1.3 mm. Feedback evaluation demonstrated 86% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the HoloLens will play a role in surgical education. Furthermore, 80% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the HoloLens is feasible to be introduced in clinical routine and will play a role within surgery in the future.
conclusionThe use of fiducial markers and repeated training reduces the positional error between the hologram and the real structures. The developed measuring device under the use of the Fiagon navigation system is suitable to measure accuracies of holographic augmented reality images of the HoloLens.
