Three-Dimensional Printing for Preoperative Planning and Pedicle Screw Placement in Adult Spinal Deformity: A Systematic Review.
Article in Global spine journal, 2021. 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
STUDY
designSystematic review.
objectivesThis current systematic review seeks to identify current applications and surgical outcomes for 3-dimensional printing (3DP) in the treatment of adult spinal deformity.
methodsA comprehensive search of publications was conducted through literature databases using relevant keywords. Inclusion criteria consisted of original studies, studies with patients with adult spinal deformities, and studies focusing on the feasibility and/or utility of 3DP technologies in the planning or treatment of scoliosis and other spinal deformities. Exclusion criteria included studies with patients without adult spinal deformity, animal subjects, pediatric patients, reviews, and editorials.
resultsStudies evaluating the effect of 3DP drill guide templates found higher screw placement accuracy in the 3DP cohort (96.9%), compared with non-3DP cohorts (81.5%,
conclusionsThree-dimensional printing is currently used for presurgical planning, patient and trainee communication and education, pre- and intraoperative guides, and screw drill guides in the treatment of scoliosis and other adult spinal deformities. In adult spinal deformity, the usage of 3DP guides is associated with increased screw accuracy and favorable deformity correction outcomes; however, average costs and production lead time are highly variable between studies.
