Use of the 4K-3D ORBEYE Exoscope for Supermicrosurgical Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
The evolution in microsurgery using high-definition three-dimensional (3D) cameras has provided the opportunity to replace conventional operating microscopes (OM), improving ergonomics for microsurgeons. Several 3D exoscope systems have already demonstrated good surgical field visualization in a 3D space in performing microvascular anastomosis with favorable maneuverability and non-inferiority compared to OM. We present the application of the 4K-3D ORBEYE system (Olympus Inc., Tokyo, Japan) in performing lymphaticovenular anastomosis to treat lower limb lymphedema and the challenges and tips to manage small vessels measuring <0.8 mm. This system provided a good intraoperative outcome with greater ergonomics and a non-inferiority magnification compared to traditional microscopes. Our findings need further studies to confirm the feasibility; however, the 4K-3D ORBEYE represents a valid possibility to assist microsurgeons in lymphatic surgery.
