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

purposeThis study introduces NeuroLens, a multimodal system designed to enhance anatomical recognition by integrating video with textual and voice inputs. It aims to provide an interactive learning platform for surgical trainees.

methodsNeuroLens employs a multimodal deep learning localization model trained on an Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy dataset. It processes neuroendoscopic videos with textual or voice descriptions to identify and localize anatomical structures, displaying them as labeled bounding boxes. Usability was evaluated through a questionnaire by five participants, including surgical students and practicing surgeons. The questionnaire included both quantitative and qualitative sections. The quantitative part covered the System Usability Scale (SUS) and assessments of system appearance, functionality, and overall usability, while the qualitative section gathered user feedback and improvement suggestions. The localization model's performance was assessed using accuracy and mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) metrics.

resultsThe system demonstrates strong usability, with an average SUS score of 71.5, exceeding the threshold for acceptable usability. The localization achieves a predicted class accuracy of 100%, a localization accuracy of 79.69%, and a mIoU of 67.10%. Participant feedback highlights the intuitive design, organization, and responsiveness while suggesting enhancements like 3D visualization.

conclusionNeuroLens integrates multimodal inputs for accurate anatomical detection and localization, addressing limitations of traditional training. Its strong usability and technical performance make it a valuable tool for enhancing anatomical learning in surgical training. While NeuroLens shows strong usability and performance, its small sample size limits generalizability. Further evaluation with more students and enhancements like 3D visualization will strengthen its effectiveness.
