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.

2 · The registry

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

The use of 3D printing (synonyms "rapid prototyping" and "additive manufacturing") has played an increasing role in the industry for many years and finds more and more interest and application in musculoskeletal surgery, especially orthopedic trauma surgery.In this article the current literature is systematically reviewed, presented and evaluated in a condensed and comprehensive way according to anatomical (upper and lower extremities) and functional aspects. As many of the publications analyzed were feasibility studies, the degree of evidence is low and methodological weaknesses are obvious and numerous; however, this pioneering work is extremely stimulating and important for further development because the technical, medical and economic potential of this technology is huge and interesting for all those involved in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems.
