Immersive Virtual Reality Used as Adjunct Anesthesia for Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty in a 100-Year-Old Patient.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is an adjunctive form of anesthesia intended to distract patients from their intraoperative environment and reduce other side effects of sedating or narcotic agents. While this technology has been applied sparingly in various orthopedic procedural environments, its clinical utility has not been widely evaluated in major, nonelective surgical settings. The use of IVR in the geriatric hip fracture population represents a novel indication with potential benefit to reduced cognitive dysfunction and delirium. We report a case of a 100-year-old patient who received IVR adjunctive to neuraxial anesthesia during conversion total hip arthroplasty via posterolateral approach for treatment of failed peritrochanteric hip fracture fixation.
