3D printing in adult cardiovascular surgery and interventions: a systematic review.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
3D printing in adult cardiac and vascular surgery has been evaluated over the last 10 years, and all of the available literature reports benefits from the use of 3D models. In the present study, we analyzed the current applications of 3D printing for adult cardiovascular disease treated with surgical or catheter-based interventions, including the clinical medical simulation of physiological or pathology conducted with 3D printing in this field. A search of PubMed and MEDLINE databases were supplemented by searching through bibliographies of key articles. Thereafter, data on demographic, clinical scenarios and application, imaging modality, purposes of using with 3D printing, outcomes and follow-up were extracted. A total of 43 articles were deemed eligible and included. 296 patients (mean age: 65.4±14.2 years; male, 58.2%) received 3D printing for cardiac and vascular surgery or conditions [percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), TAVR, mitral valve disease, aortic valve replacement, coronary artery abnormality, HOCM, aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, Kommerell's diverticulum, primary cardiac tumor and ventricular aneurysm]. Eight papers reported the utility of 3D printing in the medical simulator and training fields. Most studies were conducted starting in 2014. Twenty-six was case report. The major scenario used with 3D printing technology was LAAO (50.3%) and followed by TAVR (17.6%). CT and echocardiography were two main imaging techniques that were used to generate 3D-printed heart models. All studies showed that 3D-printed models were helpful for preoperative planning, orientation, and medical teaching. The important finding is that 3D printing provides a unique patient-specific method to assess complex anatomy and is helpful for intraoperative orientation, decision-making, creating functional models, and teaching adult cardiac and vascular surgery, including catheter-based heart surgery.
