Holographic Transmission for Real-time Education and Medical Care.
Review in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Digital health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Holographic transmission represents a transformative convergence of advanced imaging, augmented reality, and extended reality technologies for real-time education and medical care. We reviewed the current state of holographic transmission, emphasizing its applications in intraoperative guidance, telementoring, teleteaching, and telesupervision. By enabling real-time, life-sized 3-dimensional interaction across distances, holographic systems can democratize access to expertise, especially in underserved or remote areas. We analyzed technical enablers, including high-speed digital cameras, CoaXPress data transmission, graphics processing unit-based reconstruction, and 5G low-latency networks for their role in achieving near real-time fidelity. Two proof of concept demonstrations validate the technology's feasibility: a transcontinental surgical telementoring session between Boston, MA, and São Paulo, Brazil, and a large-scale educational holographic transmission connecting Mayo Clinic (United States) and the G7 Summit (Brazil). Both achieved seamless, bidirectional volumetric communication without perceptible delay, showcasing immersive copresence for clinical and educational collaboration. Despite these advances, barriers persist, most notably high implementation costs, latency sensitivity, limited field of view, and the digital divide that restricts broadband and electrical infrastructure in low-resource regions. Ethical issues surrounding privacy, data ownership, and equitable access also require structured governance. Our discussion highlights holographic telemedicine's potential to establish a borderless educational landscape where knowledge flows freely and health care equity is strengthened globally. Continued innovation, investment in infrastructure, and development of ethical and regulatory frameworks are necessary to create truly global, real-time, and immersive health care without borders.
