Three-dimensional-printing Technology in Hip and Pelvic Surgery: Current Landscape.
Review in Hip & pelvis, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
The use of three-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming more common, including in the field of orthopaedic surgery. There are currently four primary clinical applications for 3D-printing in hip and pelvic surgeries: (i) 3D-printed anatomical models for planning and surgery simulation, (ii) patient-specific instruments (PSI), (iii) generation of prostheses with 3D-additive manufacturing, and (iv) custom 3D-printed prostheses. Simulation surgery using a 3D-printed bone model allows surgeons to develop better surgical approaches, test the feasibility of procedures and determine optimal location and size for a prosthesis. PSI will help inform accurate bone cuts and prosthesis placement during surgery. Using 3D-additive manufacturing, especially with a trabecular pattern, is possible to produce a prosthesis mechanically stable and biocompatible prosthesis capable of promoting osseointergration. Custom implants are useful in patients with massive acetabular bone loss or periacetabular malignant bone tumors as they may improve the fit between implants and patient-specific anatomy. 3D-printing technology can improve surgical efficiency, shorten operation times and reduce exposure to radiation. This technology also offers new potential for treating complex hip joint diseases. Orthopaedic surgeons should develop guidelines to outline the most effective uses of 3D-printing technology to maximize patient benefits.
