Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05640401 (Mixed-reality Holographic Screens as the Replacement of Monitors in the Endoscopy Suite), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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.

Abstract

backgroundMixed reality (MR), the computer-supported augmentation of a real environment with virtual elements, becomes ever more relevant in the medical domain, especially in urology, ranging from education and training over surgeries. We aimed to review existing MR technologies and their applications in urology.

methodsA non-systematic review of current literature was performed using the PubMed-Medline database using the medical subject headings (MeSH) term "mixed reality", combined with one of the following terms: "virtual reality", "augmented reality", ''urology'' and "augmented virtuality". The relevant studies were utilized.

resultsMR applications such as MR guided systems, immersive VR headsets, AR models, MR-simulated ureteroscopy and smart glasses have enormous potential in education, training and surgical interventions of urology. Medical students, urology residents and inexperienced urologists can gain experience thanks to MR technologies. MR applications are also used in patient education before interventions.

conclusionsFor surgical support, the achievable accuracy is often not sufficient. The main challenges are the non-rigid nature of the genitourinary organs, intraoperative data acquisition, online and multimodal registration and calibration of devices. However, the progress made in recent years is tremendous in all respects and the gap is constantly shrinking.
