Augmented-reality enhanced ultrasound guidance: a sterile, hands-free approach using commercial augmented reality headsets.

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
We present a cost-effective method for using commercially available augmented reality (AR) headsets to enable sterile, hands-free ultrasound control. A Meta Quest 3 headset was paired with portable ultrasound probes via USB-C, with the Philips Lumify app sideloaded onto the headset for hand-tracking interaction. This allowed real-time imaging, screen resizing, and repositioning while maintaining sterility, even with surgical gloves. Using the Lumify app AR all of the settings and functionalities, such as gain, depth and Doppler, can be modified as they would be if using the app on a tablet. Image quality matched that of tablets, there was no glare, and remote collaboration was supported. This method requires no hardware beyond an AR headset which runs android and is capable of sideloading applications and an ultrasound probe with an accompanying android app. This proof-of-concept highlights potential for AR-enhanced ultrasound in procedural guidance and teleradiology, offering improved sterility and accessibility.
