Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Most AR simulation studies in neuro-oncology were case series with small samples, restricting the generalizability of reported utility and effectiveness. → Menna Grazia 2025

The review's synthesis of AR studies found that "a notable limitation across most studies was that the AR simulators were tested on a small subset of neurosurgical patients", which the authors state restricts generalizability.
"Nonetheless, a notable limitation across most studies was that the AR simulators were tested on a small subset of neurosurgical patients, which restricts the generalizability of their reported utility and effectiveness [6, 8, 10, 15, 19, 28, 29, 50, 60, 66, 67, 69]."
