Development and clinical evaluation of a contactless operating interface for three-dimensional image-guided navigation for endovascular neurosurgery.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeIn endovascular neurosurgery, the operator often acquires three-dimensional (3D) images of the cerebral vessels. Although workstation reoperation is required in some situations during treatment, it leads to time loss because a sterile condition cannot be maintained and treatment must be temporarily interrupted. Therefore, a workstation reoperating system is required while maintaining the desired sterility.
methodsA contactless operating interface using Kinect to control 3D images was developed via gesture recognition for endovascular neurosurgery and was applied to a 3D volume rendering technique (VRT) image reconstructed at the workstation. The left-hand movement determines the assigned functions, whereas the right-hand movement is used like a computer mouse to pan and zoom in/out. In addition to the interface, voice commands were used and assigned to digital operations, such as image view changes and mode signal changes.
resultsThis system was used for the actual endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The operator and gesture were recognized without any problems. Using voice operation, it was possible to expeditiously set the VRT image back to the reference angle. Furthermore, it was possible to finely adjust gesture operations, including mouse operation, and treatment was completed while maintaining sterile conditions.
conclusionA contactless operating interface was developed by combining the existing workstation system with Kinect and voice recognition software, allowing surgeons to perform a series of operations, which are normally performed in a console room, while maintaining sterile conditions.
