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
backgroundTo explore the location accuracy and early clinical outcomes of using a 3D-printed individualized navigation template to assist in the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
methodsA single center randomized control study was conducted. Patients with ACL injury were treated with a conventional operation or an operation assisted by a 3D-printed individualized navigation template (the 3D group). The primary endpoint was the accuracy of the actual reconstruction compared with the planned position.
resultsThere were 20 and 23 participants in the conventional group and the 3D group, respectively. There were no differences in the bone tunnel position between the actual postoperative position and the preoperative design in the 3D group (P>0.05). Compared with the 3D group, the positioning of the femoral tunnel was more inferior and shallower in the conventional group (P<0.05). The position of the tibia tunnel was closer to the anterior and medial edge of the tibial platform in the conventional group compared to the 3D group (P<0.05). The intraoperative positioning time was shorter in the 3D group than in the conventional group (3.3±1.0
conclusionsThe 3D-printed individualized navigation template showed good location accuracy and resulted in reduced intraoperative positioning time compared to the traditional method for ACL reconstruction.
