3-Dimensional Printed Models May Be a Useful Tool When Planning Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo determine whether using 3-dimensional (3D)-printed models in addition to computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate the primary femoral and tibial tunnels before revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction leads to better agreement with the surgical approach than CT alone.
methodsFifteen patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction were retrospectively identified. The mean age was 24.3 years, and 73% were female. Using only CT images, 3 board-certified orthopaedists and 5 sports medicine orthopaedic fellows evaluated whether the existing tibial and femoral tunnels were acceptable for the revision surgery. Subsequently, 3D-printed models were made available in addition to the CT scan, and the same questions were asked.
resultsFor the attending orthopaedic physicians, adding the 3D-printed models did not have a significant impact on the tibial or femoral tunnel agreement compared with the surgical approach. With the fellow physicians, however, using the 3D-printed models with tibial tunnel evaluation led to a higher agreement rate (76%) compared with CT images alone (63%) (
conclusionOur hypothesis that using 3D-printed models leads to better agreement with the surgical approach was unsupported based on the response of the board-certified orthopaedists. Based on the fellow response, it stands to reason that 3D-printed models may be a useful tool in understanding spatial orientation when planning for revision ACL surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective case series.
