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

Augmented reality (AR) is an exciting technology that has garnered considerable attention in the field of neurosurgery. Despite this, clinical use of this technology is still in its infancy. An area of great potential for this technology is the ability to display 3D anatomy overlaid with the patient to assist with presurgical and intraoperative decision-making. A 39-year-old woman presented with headaches and was experiencing what was described as a whooshing sound. MRI revealed the presence of a large left frontal mass involving the genu of the corpus callosum, with heterogeneous enhancement and central hemorrhagic necrosis, confirmed to be a glioma. She underwent a craniotomy with intraoperative MRI for resection. An augmented reality system was used to superimpose 3D holographic anatomy onto the patient's head for surgical planning. This report highlights a new AR technology and its immediate application to cranial neurosurgery. It is critical to document new uses of this technology as the field continues to integrate AR as well as other next-generation technologies into practice.
