Optimization of surgeon ergonomics with three-dimensional heads-up display for ophthalmic surgeries.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. 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
purposeTo describe the variables that may be utilized in the optimization of three-dimensional heads-up surgeries (3D-HUS) for achieving better ergonomics among ophthalmic surgeons.
methodsA. cross-sectional study was conducted at the operating room of a tertiary eye care center, equipped with an ARTEVO 800 3D surgical microscope and display monitor. The parameters noted were monitor height (MH), surgeon eye-to-floor distance (ETFD), surgeon eye-to-monitor distance (ETMD) and viewing tilt (VT) angle. The neck and eye strain of the surgeon and assistant were scored as per Borg's CR-10 scale, before and after surgeries.
resultsThirty (13 right, 17 left) eye surgeries were analyzed. The minimum ETMD was 51 inches (in) and the eye strain reduced with shorter ETMD (within the range 51 inches to 83 inches).The VT and ETFD were higher for right eye surgeries. The optimum MH was between 50 and 55 in. Overall, the neck strain and eye strain were in the range of 0-3 and 0-1, respectively.
conclusionThe various parameters affecting the 3D image quality, neck and eye strain are chair height, VT angle, eye centration, monitor distance, laterality of the eye, and room illumination.
