A Feasibility Study for 3D-printed Poly(methyl methacrylate)-resin Tracheostomy Tube Using a Hamster Cheek Pouch Model.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimA three-dimensional (3D) printed tracheostomy tube has potential application for patients who require a specialized tube. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of various 3D printing materials and determine their use in producing 3D-printed tracheostomy tube. MATERIALS AND
methodsMechanical, chemical, and microbiological in vivo changes in the scaffolds were analyzed using a hamster cheek pouch (HCP) model.
resultsThe poly methyl methacylate (PMMA)-resin showed superior pre- and post-insertion mechanical properties and a relatively consistent lower biofilm formation compared with other scaffolds. PMMA-resin was successfully 3D-printed with dimensional accuracy without a support system. The use of a 3D-printed PMMA tracheostomy tube in a rabbit trachea showed no definite signs of infection, allergy or foreign body reaction.
conclusionPMMA-resin can be proposed as an alternative for a 3D-printed tracheostomy tube material. In addition, we suggest HCPs as an in vivo model for evaluating indwelling medical devices.
