Advances in the application of virtual reality technology in ophthalmic surgical skills training.
Review in International journal of ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Conventional surgical teaching techniques face several challenges, highlighting a necessity for ongoing innovation in ophthalmology education to align with the evolving demands of clinical practice. The recent rapid advancement of computer technology has enabled the integration of virtual reality (VR) into medical training, thereby revolutionizing ophthalmic surgical education through VR-based educational methods. VR technology offers a safe, risk-free environment for trainees to practice repeatedly, enhancing surgical skills and accelerating the learning curve without compromising patient safety. This research outlines the application of VR technology in ophthalmic surgical skills training, particularly in cataract and vitreoretinal surgery. Including assessing the effectiveness of intraocular surgery training systems, evaluating skills transfer to the operating room, comparing it with wet lab cataract surgery training, and enhancing non-dominant hand training for cataract surgery, among other aspects. Additionally, this paper will identify the limitations of VR technology in ocular surgical skills training, offer improvement strategies, and detail the advantages and prospects, with the objective of guiding subsequent researchers.
