Reconstruction of Bony Defects after Tumor Resection with 3D-Printed Anatomically Conforming Pelvic Prostheses through a Novel Treatment Strategy.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
There has been an increasing interest and enormous applications in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology and its prosthesis, driving many orthopaedic surgeons to solve the difficult problem of bony defects and explore new ways in surgery approach. However, the most urgent problem is without an effective prosthesis and standard treatment strategy. In order to resolve these problems, this study was performed to explore the use of a 3D-printed anatomically conforming pelvic prosthesis for bony defect reconstruction following tumor resection and to describe a detailed treatment flowchart and the selection of a surgical approach. Six patients aged 48-69 years who had undergone pelvic tumor resection underwent reconstruction using 3D-printed anatomically conforming pelvic prostheses according to individualized bony defects between March 2016 and June 2018. According to the Enneking and Dunham classification, two patients with region I+II tumor involvement underwent reconstruction using the pubic tubercle-anterior superior iliac spine approach and the lateral auxiliary approach and one patient with region II+III and three patients with region I+II+III tumor involvement underwent reconstruction using the pubic tubercle-posterior superior iliac spine approach. The diagnoses were chondrosarcoma and massive osteolysis. After a mean follow-up duration of 30.33 ± 9.89 months (range, 18-42), all patients were alive, without evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases. The average blood loss and blood transfusion volumes during surgery were 2500.00 ± 1461.51 ml (range, 1200-5000) and 2220.00 ± 1277.62
