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

purposeAugmented Reality can improve surgical planning and performance in parotid surgery. For easier application we implemented a voice control manual for our augmented reality system. The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of the voice control in real-life situations.

methodsWe used the HoloLens 1

resultsIn silence, 100% of commands were recognized. If the volume of the operation room (OR) background noise exceeds 42 dB, the recognition rate decreases significantly, and it drops below 40% at > 60 dB SPL. With constant speech volume at 65 dB SPL male speakers had a significant better recognition rate than female speakers (p = 0.046). Higher speech volumes can compensate this effect. The recognition rate depends on the type of background noise. Mixed OR noise (52 dB(A)) reduced the detection rate significantly compared to single suction noise at 52 dB(A) (p ≤ 0.00001). The recognition rate was significantly better in the OR than in the audio cubicle (p = 0.00013 both genders, 0.0086 female, and 0.0036 male).

conclusionsThe recognition rate of voice commands can be enhanced by increasing the speech volume and by singularizing ambient noises. The detection rate depends on the loudness of the OR noise. Male voices are understood significantly better than female voices.
