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

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented Reality (AR) are emerging technologies with the potential to revolutionize Interventional radiology (IR). These innovations offer advantages in patient care, interventional planning, and educational training by improving the visualization and navigation of medical images. Despite progress, several challenges hinder their widespread adoption, including limitations in navigation systems, cost, clinical acceptance, and technical constraints of AR/VR equipment. However, ongoing research holds promise with recent advancements such as shape-sensing needles and improved organ deformation modeling. The development of deep learning techniques, particularly for medical imaging segmentation, presents a promising avenue to address existing accuracy and precision issues. Future applications of AR/VR in IR include simulation-based training, preprocedural planning, intraprocedural guidance, and increased patient engagement. As these technologies advance, they are expected to facilitate telemedicine, enhance operational efficiency, and improve patient outcomes, marking a new frontier in interventional radiology.
