3-DIEPrinting: 3D-printed Models to Assist the Intramuscular Dissection in Abdominally Based Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Harvest of the deep inferior epigastric vessels for microsurgical breast reconstruction can be complicated by an intricate and lengthy subfascial dissection. Although multiple preoperative imaging modalities exist to help visualize the vascular anatomy and assist in perforator selection, few can help clearly define the intramuscular course of these vessels. The authors introduce their early experience with 3D-printed anatomical modeling (to-scale) of the infraumbilical course of the deep inferior epigastric subfascial vascular tree to better assist in executing the intramuscular dissection.
