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

Possible use of 3D-printing technology in orthopedic surgery ranges from preoperative planning to dedicated counselling with patients by the use of individual 3D models, intraoperative surgery tools or implants and various other applications. This article describes a technique for the creation of intraoperative tools with which the process from computed tomography (CT) images to 3D-printed tools in trauma surgery can safely be administered. For segmentation of CT images a range of different software options is available. The standard triangulation file created in this way (file ending: .stl) must subsequently be post-processed. By the use of the digital casts from bone and fractures in computer-aided design (CAD) programs implants and patient individual tools are created, which can range from ortheses to protheses to intraoperative saw guides.
