Toward ubiquitous surgical assistance services via private 5G infrastructure.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 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
purposeAdvanced data processing methods, including artificial intelligence (AI), are increasingly integrated into clinical practice, improving treatment quality and reducing practitioner strain. These methods entail elevated computational demands, necessitating secure and efficient resource provision. This study investigates a wireless infrastructure based on private 5G networking capable of provisioning scalable computational resources, exemplified by surgical assistance services (SAS) requiring live feedback.
methodsTo this end, five exemplary SAS covering medical imaging, speech, and device data processing were deployed as virtualized applications on a private 5G-connected edge computing cluster. Latency and concurrent stream capacity were evaluated against a local processing baseline.
resultsThe private 5G configuration supports up to five concurrent 4K or 41 concurrent 720p video streams with on-site-like responsiveness and guaranteed latencies. A 720p end-to-end endoscopic SAS, covering local image capture, remote segmentation, and return, consistently achieves capture-to-display latencies below 290 ms.
conclusionThe findings demonstrate how medical systems can wirelessly offload diverse computational workloads, satisfying responsiveness requirements for surgical applications despite a preliminary private 5G configuration. Compared to Wi-Fi, private 5G requires greater infrastructure effort but provides dedicated spectrum with reduced interference susceptibility, enhanced security, and temporal determinism, properties that may be of particular relevance for surgical navigation and robotic systems.
