1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Background: Patient Specific Instruments (PSI) is currently a proven technique for bone tumor resection. In a previous publication, we analyzed the quality of margin resection of pelvic sarcoma resections with the use of PSI (by pathologic evaluation of the margins). In this new study, we compare preoperative resection planning and actual resection margins by MRI analysis of the resection specimens. Methods: Between 2011 and 2020, 31 patients underwent bone tumor resection with the use of PSI. Preoperatively, the margins were planned with a software and PSI were made according to these margins. Postoperatively, the surgical resection specimens were analyzed with MRI. Resection margins were measured with the same software used in the preoperative planning. Results: All margins were safe (free of tumor). The differences between preoperative planned margins and the obtained ones were within the range -5 to +5 mm. The correlation between planned margin and the obtained one was excellent (R Conclusions: This study demonstrates the accuracy of PSI. In our series, all resection margins were safe. A minimal 5 mm-margin has to be planned but a larger sample is needed to give recommendations.
