3D printing and thoracoscopy assisted MIPO in treatment of long-range comminuted rib fractures, a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTo investigate the application of 3D printing technology combined with percutaneous Minimally Invasive Plate Oseoynthesis (MIPO) and thoracoscopic techniques in the treatment of long comminuted rib fractures. CASE PRESENTATION: One case of multiple rib fractures with abnormal respiratory disease (including rib 3 and 4 of long comminuted fractures) due to a fall injury was selected. The 3D model of comminuted rib fracture was reconstructed and printed according to the thin-layer CT scan results. After the fracture model was restored to the normal rib anatomy, the metal plate was accurately shaped according to the 3D rib shape.
conclusions3D printing technology combined with MIPO technology under thoracoscopy in the minimally invasive treatment of long-range comminuted rib fractures, greatly reduced the time and improved the accuracy of intraoperative fixation, reduced the difficulty of surgery, patient injury, and perfectly reconstructed the chest wall. Application of the 3D printing technique to make the rib model and pre-mold the metal plate combined the thoracoscopic MIPO technology provides less invasive and accurate individualized treatment for complex rib fractures.
