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

Immersive technologies, particularly virtual reality (VR), have significantly advanced since their inception in the mid-twentieth century. In recent years, the development of affordable, high-quality VR systems has catalyzed their application across various fields, including diagnostic radiology. Radiologists can use VR to navigate complex anatomical structures in three dimensions, enhancing their understanding of spatial relationships and pathology and helping them visualize and interpret diagnostic medical images. This article explains the history of immersive technologies, how VR is currently being used in diagnostic radiology, and assesses prospects for future applications. Integration with artificial intelligence could lead to more sophisticated simulations, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalized treatment plans. VR's role in teleradiology is expected to grow, facilitating remote consultations and virtual collaboration among radiologists, improving accessibility for patients in underserved regions.
