Apple Vision Pro Augmented Reality-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatment of Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This report outlines the innovative use of augmented reality (AR) in the surgical planning and treatment of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) via a minimally invasive technique. AR technology by way of an Apple Vision Pro headset was employed to enhance preoperative visualization and understanding of the pathology, leading to successful surgical ligation of the AVF. This case describes a 56-year-old male presenting with progressive weakness and thoracic myelopathy who showed marked improvement postoperatively, highlighting AR's potential to improve surgical approach and outcomes.
