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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of Mixed Reality (MR)-Assisted Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 46 patients with aortic dissection who underwent TEVAR. In the Control Group, Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) was performed on the thoracic and abdominal aorta, after which surgery was performed based on traditional 2D imaging data. In the observation group, the Star Map HoloLens Image System was used for data processing and 3D modeling, and preoperative analysis and intraoperative path guidance were conducted with the MR Microsoft HoloLens Headset. The communication time, satisfaction, and anxiety after communication, as well as the operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and rehabilitation of these two groups were analyzed.

resultsThis study aimed to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of MR-guided stent placement. A total of 46 patients were equally divided into the MR group and control group (n = 23 each), with data analyzed via non-parametric tests. Compared with the control group, the MR group exhibited significantly shorter operation duration (70.91 ± 8.533 vs. 77.48 ± 8.474 min, Z = -2.785, p = 0.005), fewer fluoroscopy times (3.74 ± 1.214 vs. 5.61 ± 1.530, Z = -3.813, p < 0.001), and less stent adjustments (1.65 ± 1.152 vs. 2.91 ± 1.411, Z = -2.765, p = 0.006), suggesting MR guidance may optimize perioperative efficiency.

conclusionMultimodal MR has an important auxiliary role in patient education, surgical planning, and accurate positioning of the surgical approach.
