Accuracy of a novel mixed reality surgical platform for total knee arthroplasty.

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
backgroundComputer-assisted navigation has improved surgeons' ability to achieve accurate implant placement in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). As technology evolves and new systems are introduced, it is imperative to evaluate their accuracy for achieving desired goals.
methodsThis work evaluated the accuracy of a novel mixed reality surgical guidance platform that uses a head-mounted device to measure patient bony anatomy, quantify soft tissue balance, and provide quantitative resection guidance overlaid on the surgical field. Accuracy is evaluated in a cadaveric simulated use study and in a comprehensive evaluation of the tracking subsystem using the international ASTM standard F2554-22. Depth and angular errors are reported across eight knees for the proximal tibial, distal femoral, and posterior femoral resections by comparing platform-navigated resection metrics to caliper-measured resection depths and post-operative CT-measured angles. Analysis of the tracking subsystem investigated instrument localization error across the tracking volume, including rotational and positional extremes. Testing also extended the ASTM standard to include additional rotation tests and an evaluation procedure for planar accuracy metrics.
resultsAll cadaveric simulated use depth and angular absolute errors were below 2 mm and 2°, with 83% less than or equal to 1 mm and 1°. Absolute resection errors averaged 0.7 ± 0.4 mm and 0.6 ± 0.4° for depths and angles, respectively. The tracking subsystem localized over 99.5% of points with positional accuracy better than ± 2 mm and localized over 99.5% of planes with angular accuracy better than ± 1°. Average absolute tracking errors were sub-millimeter and sub-degree.
conclusionThis open and imageless platform for TKA surgical guidance requires only 13 landmarks with no additional equipment footprint, minimal tooling, and data overlaid holographically onto the surgical scene, while still providing a comprehensive set of metrics with state-of-the-art accuracy.
