The effect of new preoperative preparation method compared to conventional method in complex acetabular fractures: minimum 2-year follow-up.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04660734 (Advantages of 3D Printing in the Management of Acetabular Fractures Fixed by the Kocher Langenbeck Approach), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the new method including 3D printing-based preoperative planning, surgical workshop, and contouring of the plate versus conventional method in the surgical treatment of complex acetabular fractures.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data in a cohort of 88 patients of complex acetabular fracture with mean 29.95 ± 4.84 months (24-41 months) follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisting of 41 patients were performed previewed surgery with a 3D printing-based pre-contoured plate on a 3D printing model. Group 2, comprised of 47 patients, were treated by the traditional contoured plate technique. The quality of reduction was assessed using criteria described by Matta. Functional outcome was evaluated using Modified Postel Merle D'Aubigne score. A custom-made quiz was used to evaluate the chief assistant.
resultsThe study showed no significant differences in measured preoperative variables except for the age between the Group 1 and Group 2 (p > 0.05). Compared with the Group 2, the intraoperative blood loss, operative time was significantly decreased in Group 1 (p < 0.05). There were no significant statistical differences in the quality of reduction and Modified Postel Merle D'Aubigne score (p > 0.05). The result of evaluation of assistant in Group 1 was significantly high than in Group 2 (p < 0.05).
conclusion3D printing-based pre-contoured plate is a more effective and reliable method than traditional contoured plate technique for treating the complex acetabular fractures. Meanwhile, the 3D printing is a useful orthopedic surgical education tool which can improve the understanding of the complex acetabular fracture for a young surgeon.
