Apple Vision Pro and Its Implications in Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a precise and effective technique for treating skin cancers, necessitating high accuracy and real-time decision-making to ensure complete tumor removal while preserving healthy tissue. The introduction of the Apple Vision Pro (AVP), an advanced mixed-reality headset, presents a potential technological advancement in surgical practice. The present investigation explores the integration of AVP into Mohs surgery, focusing on its potential to enhance preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative analysis. The AVP's high-resolution displays, advanced eye-tracking technology, and real-time data overlay capabilities may assist in meticulous surgical planning and execution. In the preoperative phase, AVP enables the creation and manipulation of detailed 3D models, providing comprehensive visualizations of tumor margins and critical structures. During surgery, AVP's real-time data overlay aids in precise tumor excision and spatial orientation, reducing errors and improving outcomes. Postoperatively, the AVP facilitates detailed procedural reviews and serves as a robust educational tool for surgical trainees. Despite its promising applications, challenges such as real-time resolution limitations, potential eye strain from prolonged use, and high costs must be addressed for widespread clinical adoption. This review highlights the transformative potential of AVP in Mohs surgery and underscores the need for further research to optimize integration and maximize benefits in dermatological procedures.
