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
purposeThe aim of our study was to demonstrate the value of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and three-dimensional printing (3DP) models in two cases of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the thigh. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo patients with STS were recruited and underwent enhanced CT and MRI scans. Then, the 3D models were reconstructed and printed using the obtained data, and five experts were invited to assess the segmentation quality. In addition, 34 junior, intermediate and senior general surgeons were recruited to demonstrate the value of 3D models in preoperative planning and invited five surgeons to complete the assessment of 3D models-assisted intraoperative navigation. Finally, 32 interns were enrolled to explore the significance of 3D models in medical education.
resultsAll experts agree with the accuracy of the 3D models. The application of 3D models in preoperative planning improved the understanding of general surgeons (P = 0.000, P = 0.000, P = 0.000). After the planning tools were exchanged between the two groups, senior surgeons in group A showed more significant improvements in performance than junior and intermediate surgeons in group A (P = 0.001, P = 0.006). Surgeons unanimously agree on the value of 3D models in intraoperative navigation. When applied for the education of medical interns, these models could enhance their understanding of pathologic anatomies (P = 0.036).
conclusionIn two operations for STS of the thigh with complex adjacencies, our study demonstrates that 3D models are of great value for preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation and medical education. More importantly, these models were more helpful to senior general surgeons.
