Comparative Evaluation of Hybrid 3D-Printed Models versus Cadaveric Animal Jaws: A Student's Perspective.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To get a feedback from students participating in a skill enhancement course where a combination of a 3D-printed mandible with a natural tooth in place of the impacted tooth for surgical training is used and to compare it to an animal jaw model used for the same purpose. Methods: 41 participants were enrolled for the study, and extraction procedure was performed on both the bovine jaw and the 3D-printed mandible. Participants evaluated both models using a validated questionnaire to assess the anatomical and operative simulation and to compare its cost effectiveness. Results: Overall significant differences between the two models were found in the student assessment. Whilst the animal jaw models achieved better results in the haptic feedback of the soft tissue, the 3D-printed models were regarded significantly more realistic with regard to the anatomical correctness, the degree of freedom of movement and the operative simulation. Conclusion: The 3D-printed models presented a realistic alternative to cadaveric jaw models in the training of operational skills of dental surgeons. Whilst the 3D-printed models received positive feedback from students in a hands-on course, some aspects of the model leave room for improvement.
