ReviewJournal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma
Computed tomography based 3D printed patient specific blocks for total knee replacement.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

14 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 32 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectives3D printing is an emerging technology and its use in orthopaedics is being explored. We discuss the role of computed tomography based 3D printed patient specific jigs in total knee replacement. We also discuss the various advantages of 3D printed patient specific jigs and the future scope of their use in total knee replacement.
methodsA search of English literature was done and articles discussing the role of CT scan based 3D printed patient specific jigs in total knee replacement were included in the study.
resultsThe role of 3D printed jigs in total knee replacement have been found in the prediction of femoral valgus angle, component sizing and in retained hardware. They have shown promise with studies suggesting they might improve the overall mechanical alignment of the knee. There are studies which have also studied the combined role of patient specific instruments with navigation.
conclusion3D printed jigs hold promise in total knee replacement. Their use in total knee replacement in the presence of retained hardware is useful for the surgeon. They have also showed promise in improving prediction of component sizing and improving mechanical alignment of the knee. Further studies with longer follow up and larger sample size will help in establishing their role in total knee replacement.
