Comparison of 2D 4K vs. 3D HD laparoscopic imaging systems in bariatric surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled prospective trial.
Article in Trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05895058 (Comparison of 2D 4K vs. 3D HD Laparoscopic Imaging Systems in Bariatric Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundVision is an important and defining element of laparoscopy and significantly affects the outcome of surgery in terms of time, error, and precision. Several new imaging systems have become available for laparoscopic surgery, including three-dimensional (3D) high-definition (HD) and two-dimensional (2D) ultra-high-resolution (4K) monitors. 3D HD systems offer a number of potential benefits to surgeons and patients over traditional 2D systems, including reduced operating time, blood loss, and hospital stay. However, the performance of 3D systems against the new, ultra-high definition 4K systems is barely known and highly controversial. There is a paucity of studies comparing them in clinical settings. The aim of this study is to compare 2D 4K and 3D HD perspectives in gastric bypass surgery.
methodsForty-eight patients with an indication for gastric bypass will be randomized to receive laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery using either 2D 4K or 3D HD systems. The operations will be performed by a well-coordinated team of three senior surgeons. The primary outcome is operative time. Secondary outcomes include intraoperative complications, blood loss, operator workload as assessed by the validated Surg-TLX questionnaire, and postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. An interim analysis is planned after enrollment of 12 participants for each group. DISCUSSION: This prospective, randomized trial is designed to test the hypothesis that the use of a 3D HD system will result in a significant improvement in operative time compared to a 2D 4K system in bariatric surgery. The objective is to provide clinical evidence for new laparoscopic imaging systems and to evaluate potential benefits.
