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

Augmented reality (AR) technologies enable the superimposition of imaging upon a patient in real time with three dimensional instrument tracking during procedures. We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of using an AR system (XR90, MediView XR Inc., Cleveland, OH) to fuse a pelvic multi-parametric magnetic resonance image segmentation with ultrasound to perform a non-rectal, fully trans-perineal (FTP), AR-assisted prostate biopsy. AR-assisted biopsy results were congruent with standard fusion biopsy results, showing benign prostate tissue. No adverse events occurred. Limitations include the current workflow and reliance on a non-specialized ultrasound probe.
