Application of 3D printed models in the surgical treatment of spinal deformity.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo test if preoperative planning with 3 dimensional (3D)-printed spine models can increase the effectiveness and safety of spinal deformity surgery.
methodsA total of 53 patients who were treated in our center for spinal deformities from January 2010 to January 2018 were included in the current study. They were divided into two groups based on whether 3D-printed models were used in the surgical planning. A total of 28 patients who were treated with 3D-printed models were assigned to the experimental group, and 25 patients who were treated with conventional methods were assigned to the control group. Duration of surgery, intraoperative hemorrhage, incidence of surgery related complications, Oswestry disability index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS), and Cobb's angle were compared between the two groups before and after surgery.
resultsThere were significant differences in the duration of surgery, intraoperative hemorrhage and intraoperative x-ray exposure between the two groups (P<0.01). Cobb's angle was smaller in the experimental group than in the control group when measured three days and a year after surgery (P<0.01). Although there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups (P>0.05), Oswestry disability index and VAS pain scores were lower a month and a year after the surgery than before the surgery (P<0.01).
conclusionSurgical planning using 3D-printed spine models can decrease the operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage, and x-ray exposure, and help achieve satisfactory structural restoration in patients with severe spinal deformity.
