Mixed Reality (MR) Based Slit Lamp: The First Step Toward XR-Ophthalmology.
Article in Research square, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study demonstrates the concept of Mixed Reality (MR) based slit lamp (MR-SLP), which can display real-time stereoscopic diagnostic images of the eye both locally and remotely, making it suitable for stereoscopic tele-ophthalmology applications. In MR-SLP, two high-resolution video cameras were mounted on the left and right viewing channels of a conventional slit lamp to capture corresponding diagnostic images in real time, which were then transmitted to multiple MR headsets via a broadcast network. The operator wears the MR headset to see the stereoscopic diagnostic images and operates the slit lamp using the MR's see-through function. The system's depth perception, a key feature inherited from the slit lamp, was quantitatively tested using a tube-threading task. The feasibility of tele-ophthalmology was evaluated across multiple sites with subjective feedback from participants. The results showed no observable differences in image quality or depth perception between local and remote sites, and ophthalmologists participated in this study reported a user experience with the MR-SLP that was comparable to a conventional slit lamp. Furthermore, the tube-threading test indicated that the time taken to complete the task was similar when using the MR-SLP compared to the direct view through the eyepieces. This study successfully demonstrates the feasibility of the MR-SLP for transmitting high-quality stereoscopic slit lamp images to multiple MR devices in real-time, without distance limitations, wherever an internet connection is available.
