Visualization of complicated fractures by 3D-printed models for teaching and surgery: hands-on transitional fractures of the ankle.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2022. 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
aimsUnderstanding the orientation of fracture lines and mechanisms is the essential key to sufficient surgical therapy, but there is still a lack of visualization and teaching methods in traumatology and fracture theory. 3D-printed models offer easy approach to those fractures. This paper explains the use of the teaching possibility with 3-dimensional models of transitional fractures of the ankle. METHODS AND
resultsFor generating 3D printable models, already obtained CT data were used and segmented into its different tissues, especially parts concerning the fracture. After the segmentation process, the models were produced with FFF (fused filament fabrication) printing technology. The fracture models then were used for hands-on teaching courses in AO course (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen) of pediatric traumatology in 2020 in Frankfurt. In the course fracture anatomy with typical fracture lines, approaches, and screw placement could be shown, discussed and practiced.
conclusionThe study shows the use of 3D-printed teaching models and helps to understand complicated fractures, in this case, transitional fractures of the ankle. The teaching method can be adapted to numerous other use cases.
