Mechanism and design of a novel 8K ultra-high-definition video microscope for microsurgery.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The practical application of microscopes using 8K ultra-high definition (UHD) technology is progressing. However, due to insufficiencies in factors such as luminous intensity and stereopsis, it has not been possible to achieve sufficient image quality for close observation of submillimeter order microlymphatic anastomosis using a combination of 8K-UHD cameras with a rigid endoscope. We have improved the quality of microsurgery by the introduction of a new heads up 8K-UHD surgical system. Herein, we show the mechanisms of this next-generation technology that makes optical improvements to the electronic image input data, resolving the initial drawback. We have developed a new 8K-UHD digital microscope system with digital zooming to enable maximum 300X magnification of the surgical field. This system has specific lighting settings for shadows dropped in surgical field to expand the three-dimensional effect while still being a monocular camera. The original mechanism and design enable the increase of the depth of field with optimal angles between the imaging direction and approaching direction towards the surgical field. Assessment during a pre-clinical trial using rats demonstrated that it is possible to perform microlymphatic anastomosis in a heads-up position with a 70-inch 8K-UHD monitor and the 8K-UHD monocular camera system. Performing supermicrosurgery is difficult with conventional surgical microscopes. Our results illustrate the application of this new 8K-UHD microscope system to this new field.
