A narrative review of advancing medical education through technology: the role of smart glasses in situated learning.
Review in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe integration of smart glasses technology in medical education has emerged as a promising approach to enhance medical education specially in clinical setting. Grounded in situational learning theory, smart glasses provide immersive experiences that allow students to engage with real-world clinical scenarios. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application and impact of smart glasses technology in medical education.
methodIn this study, two databases, PubMed and ScienceDirect, were used from 2016 to 2024 with related keywords and specific terms. In the process of searching and collecting studies, we utilized the Statement of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The studies reviewed included full-text quantitative, qualitative, and review articles that addressed the impact of smart glasses. In the initial review, 123 articles were found, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 articles were evaluated by the reviewers. Finally, 28 articles were selected for review.
resultThe outcome of this review indicated that smart glasses significantly enhance procedural training by allowing students to observe live surgeries and interact with instructors in real-time. Additionally, the technology facilitated remote collaboration, enabling students to participate in training sessions regardless of geographical constraints.
conclusionThe integration of smart glasses into medical education presents a transformative opportunity to enhance traditional training methods and improve situated learning for students. By providing immersive and interactive learning experiences, smart glasses can enhance skill acquisition and foster a more engaging educational environment for future healthcare professionals.
