Application effect of head-mounted mixed reality device combined with 3D printing model in neurosurgery ventricular and hematoma puncture training.
Article in BMC medical education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore the applicability of application effect of head-mounted mixed reality (MR) equipment combined with a three-dimensional (3D) printed model in neurosurgical ventricular and haematoma puncture training.
methodsDigital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format image data of two patients with common neurosurgical diseases (hydrocephalus and basal ganglia haemorrhage) were imported into 3D Slicer software for 3D reconstruction, saved, and printed using 3D printing to produce a 1:1-sized head model with real person characteristics. The required model (brain ventricle, haematoma, puncture path, etc.) was constructed and imported into the head-mounted MR device, HoloLens, and a risk-free, visual, and repeatable system was designed for the training of junior physicians. A total of 16 junior physicians who studied under this specialty from September 2020 to March 2022 were selected as the research participants, and the applicability of the equipment and model during training was evaluated with assessment score sheets and questionnaires after training.
resultsAccording to results of the assessment and questionnaire, the doctors trained by this system are more familiar with the localization of the lateral anterior ventricle horn puncture and the common endoscopic surgery for basal ganglia haemorrhage, as well as more confident in the mastery of these two operations than the traditional training methods.
conclusionsThe use of head-mounted MR equipment combined with 3D printing models can provide an ideal platform for the operation training of young doctors. Through holographic images created from the combination of virtual and real images, operators can be better immersed in the operation process and deepen their understanding of the operation and related anatomical structures. The 3D printed model can be repeatedly reproduced so that doctors can master the technology, learn from mistakes, better achieve the purpose of teaching and training, and improve the effect of training.
