Enhancing Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Endometrial Cancer Using Augmented and Mixed Reality.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sentinel lymph node biopsy offers a less invasive alternative to full lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer, reducing complications while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. This case report highlights the integration of holography and augmented reality (AR) in a 34-year-old woman undergoing robotic-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer. Preoperative imaging combined with single-photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography identified sentinel lymph nodes, which were visualized using mixed reality (MR) technology. This approach enabled the surgical team to accurately understand the three-dimensional spatial relationships between lymph nodes and surrounding critical structures. Holographic projections provided precise guidance during surgery, improving lymph node identification and minimizing invasiveness. No lymph node metastasis was detected, but a diagnosis of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIA was confirmed due to tumor seeding in the peritoneum. The patient underwent successful adjuvant chemotherapy with no recurrence observed. This report demonstrates the significant potential of holography and AR to enhance spatial awareness and surgical precision. These technologies represent a promising advancement in sentinel lymph node biopsy for patients with gynecologic cancers, contributing to reduced surgical invasiveness and alleviating stress for surgeons.
