Can optical scanning technologies replace CT for 3D printed medical devices in radiation oncology?
Article in Journal of medical radiation sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
3D printing is being increasingly adopted in radiation oncology for printing highly conformal medical devices for treatment. Optical surface reconstruction technologies have been shown to be useful for 3D printing applications due to their higher spatial resolution, non-ionising radiation imaging and will likely supplement existing radiographic imaging techniques in the future.
