HoloLens augmented reality system for transperineal free-hand prostate procedures.
Article in Journal of medical imaging (Bellingham, Wash.), 2023. 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
Purpose: An augmented reality (AR) system was developed to facilitate free-hand real-time needle guidance for transperineal prostate (TP) procedures and to overcome the limitations of a traditional guidance grid. Approach: The HoloLens AR system enables the superimposition of annotated anatomy derived from preprocedural volumetric images onto a patient and addresses the most challenging part of free-hand TP procedures by providing real-time needle tip localization and needle depth visualization during insertion. The AR system accuracy, or the image overlay accuracy ( Results: The image overlay error was Conclusions: The HoloLens AR system can provide accurate needle guidance for TP interventions. AR support for free-hand lesion targeting is feasible and may provide more flexibility than grid-based methods, due to the real-time 3D and immersive experience during free-hand TP procedures.
