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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundLateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) is performed for stage T1-2 external ear malignant tumors and requires spatial anatomical knowledge of the rare surgical field.

objectiveThis paper presents a novel virtual reality (VR) based surgical simulation and navigation system using only commercially available display device and an online software, to assist in the understanding of the anatomy pre and intraoperatively. RESULT AND

conclusionVR model created by 3D Slicer modules and visualized on head mounted display enabled users to simulate and learn surgical techniques of a rare surgical case. 3D hologram through HoloLens assisted the surgeon in comprehending the spatial relationship between crucial vital structures and the pathological lesion during the operation. This platform does not require the users to possess specific programming skill or knowledge, and is therefore applicable in daily clinical usage.
