Transforming Healthcare: A Comprehensive Review of Augmented and Virtual Reality Interventions.
Synthesis in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have rapidly expanded within healthcare due to their innovative capabilities for enhancing patient care, medical training, and health outcomes. This systematic review synthesizes quantitative studies published post-2020, explicitly investigating AR and VR healthcare interventions. The review identifies, evaluates, and summarizes the effectiveness of these interventions, highlighting their clinical implications, outcomes, and implementation challenges. Twenty eligible studies were included, examining various health conditions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, mental health disorders, stroke rehabilitation, and orthopedic recovery. Findings indicate generally positive outcomes from AR and VR interventions; however, issues including technology usability, adherence, and methodological limitations are noted. This review underscores the significant potential of AR and VR interventions in healthcare, but emphasizes the need for more rigorous research to address current gaps in the clinical effectiveness and application.
