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.

Abstract

introductionIn this work, we aimed to explore the applicability of a mixed reality headset (MRH) in intraocular surgery and its potential benefits as an innovative telementoring model of surgical teaching.

methodsA total of nine surgeries were performed. All surgeries were planned and performed with the aid of the Apple Vision Pro (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA) MRH integrated with multimodal imaging technology to provide a dynamic, detailed, real-time, all-in-one three-dimensional (3D) live visualization of surgical cases. A live connection between surgeons enabled real-time sharing of the surgical field. Feedback from surgeons and fellows, along with their satisfaction levels, was recorded to assess the applicability of this approach in intraocular surgery and surgical education.

resultsThe integrated system proved to be an efficient all-in-one solution, demonstrating efficacy in surgical planning and keeping the surgeon informed throughout the procedure (> 8). No signal delay nor additional complications were detected in the real-time video feed, which allowed for uninterrupted guidance throughout the procedure. Both surgeons and fellows showed overall satisfaction and interest in the new model (> 8), appreciating the advantages in terms of knowledge gap filling, future perspective in surgical telementoring, and the possibility of application in surgical training.

conclusionsIntroducing an MRH in intraocular surgery provides an innovative and immersive visualization, leading to significant benefits in telementoring. This advancement opens new educational opportunities and could be a game-changer in the training of future ophthalmic surgeons.
