1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeComputer-aided navigation and patient-specific 3D printed guides have demonstrated superior outcomes in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Nevertheless, few TSAs are inserted using these technologies. Head-worn augmented reality (AR) devices can provide intuitive 3D computer navigation to the surgeon. This study investigates AR navigation in conjunction with adaptive spatial drift correction toward TSA.

methodsA phantom study was performed to assess the performance of AR navigated pin placement in TSA. Two medical experts performed a total of 12 pin placements into phantom scapula; six were placed using an end-to-end AR-navigated technique, and six using a common freehand technique. Inside-out infrared (IR) tracking was designed and integrated into the AR headset to correct for device drift and provide tool tracking. Additionally, the impact of IR tool tracking, registration, and superposed/juxtaposed visualization techniques was investigated.

resultsThe AR-navigated pin placement resulted in a mean entry point error of 1.06 mm ± 0.64 mm and directional error of

conclusionAR navigation allowed for comparable pin placement outcomes with those reported in the literature for patient-specific 3D printed guides; moreover, it complements the patient-specific planning without the need for the guides themselves.
