Translating Imaging Into 3D Printed Cardiovascular Phantoms: A Systematic Review of Applications, Technologies, and Validation.
Review in JACC. Basic to translational science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Translation of imaging into 3-dimensional (3D) printed patient-specific phantoms (3DPSPs) can help visualize complex cardiovascular anatomy and enable tailoring of therapy. The aim of this paper is to review the entire process of phantom production, including imaging, materials, 3D printing technologies, and the validation of 3DPSPs. A systematic review of published research was conducted using Embase and MEDLINE, including studies that investigated 3DPSPs in cardiovascular medicine. Among 2,534 screened papers, 212 fulfilled inclusion criteria and described 3DPSPs as a valuable adjunct for planning and guiding interventions (n = 108 [51%]), simulation of physiological or pathological conditions (n = 19 [9%]), teaching of health care professionals (n = 23 [11%]), patient education (n = 3 [1.4%]), outcome prediction (n = 6 [2.8%]), or other purposes (n = 53 [25%]). The most common imaging modalities to enable 3D printing were cardiac computed tomography (n = 131 [61.8%]) and cardiac magnetic resonance (n = 26 [12.3%]). The printing process was conducted mostly by material jetting (n = 54 [25.5%]) or stereolithography (n = 43 [20.3%]). The 10 largest studies that evaluated the geometric accuracy of 3DPSPs described a mean bias <±1 mm; however, the validation process was very heterogeneous among the studies. Three-dimensional printed patient-specific phantoms are highly accurate, used for teaching, and applied to guide cardiovascular therapy. Systematic comparison of imaging and printing modalities following a standardized validation process is warranted to allow conclusions on the optimal production process of 3DPSPs in the field of cardiovascular medicine.
