Custom 3D-Printed Cutting Guides for Femoral Osteotomy in Rotational Malalignment Due to Diaphyseal Fractures: Surgical Technique and Case Series.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Femoral shaft fractures are one of the most common injuries in trauma patients. The gold standard treatment consists of closed reduction and intramedullary nailing, providing a high fracture healing rate and allowing early mobilization. However, rotational malalignment is a well-known complication following this procedure, and excessive femoral anteversion or femoral retroversion can trigger functional complaints. In order to achieve the ideal degree of femoral rotation, a 3D planning and printing cutting guides procedure was developed to correct femoral malrotation. A patient series with malalignment after a femoral diaphyseal fracture was operated on with the customized guides and evaluated in this study. Computed tomography scans were performed to accurately determine the number of degrees of malrotation, allowing the design of specific and personalized surgical guides to correct these accurately. Once designed, they were produced by 3D printing. After surgery with the customized guides to correct femoral malrotation, all patients presented a normalized anteversion angle of the femur (average -10.3°, range from -5° to -15°), according to their contralateral limb. These data suggest that the use of customized cutting guides for femoral osteotomy is a safe and reproducible surgical technique that offers precise results when correcting femoral malrotation.
