Phacoemulsification surgery: stepping into the mixed reality era.
Article in International ophthalmology, 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
purposeTo test the applicability of a mixed reality headset in cataract surgery.
methodsPatients scheduled for phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery were enrolled in our prospective interventional study. All patients underwent complete baseline ophthalmological examination and multimodal imaging analysis before surgery, which was scheduled and performed with the aid of the mixed reality headset. Primary outcomes were: surgical safety, efficacy and intraoperative parameters (Time lag, and surgical time duration). Secondary outcome was the occurrence of self-reported surgeon strain (SRSS), measured in a range from 0 to 5 and ergonomics, measured through the rapid upper limb assessment scale, RULA.
resultsA total of 100 phacoemulsification surgeries were performed. Surgical success was recorded in all cases (100%) and no intraoperative complications were documented (0%). Mean time lag was 50 ms and the mean intraoperative surgery duration was 14 ± 6 min. The SRSS was graded as 0 in all cases with the absence of neck and back pain nor nausea or visual disturbance.
conclusionsThe application of mixed reality in phacoemulsification surgery is an innovative, safe and effective tool in intraocular surgery.
