Surgical advantages of using 3D patient-specific models in high-energy tibial plateau fractures.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTreatment of tibial plateau fractures are difficult due to the intra-articular nature of the proximal tibia and extensive involvement of the soft tissue envelope. In this study, we investigated the surgical experience acquired using digitally designed life-size fracture models to guide as a template to place plates and screws in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures and anatomic reduction of joint.
methods20 tibial plateau frature patients were divided into two equal surgery groups as conventional versus 3D model assisted. The fracture line angles, depression depth, and preoperative/postoperative Rasmussen knee score were measured for each patient.
resultsThe duration of the operation, blood loss volume, turniquet time and number of intraoperative fluoroscopy was 89.5 ± 5.9 min, 160.5 ± 15.3 ml, 74.5 ± 6 min and 10.7 ± 1.76 times, for 3D printing group and 127 ± 14.5 min, 276 ± 44.8 ml, 104.5 ± 5.5 min and 18.5 ± 2.17 times for the conventional group, respectively. 3D model-assisted group indicated significantly shorter operation time, less blood loss volume, shorter turniquet and fluoroscopy times, and better outcome than the conventional one.
conclusionsThe customized 3D model was user friendly, and it provided a radiation-free tibial screw insertion. The use of these models assisted surgical planning, maximized the possibility of ideal anatomical reduction and provided individualized information concerning tibial plateau fractures.
