Point-of-Care Virtual Surgical Planning and 3D Printing in Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
This paper provides an overview on the use of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and point-of-care 3D printing (POC 3DP) in oral and cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery based on a literature review. The authors searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase to find papers published between January 2015 and February 2022 in English, which describe human applications of POC 3DP in CMF surgery, resulting in 63 articles being included. The main review findings were as follows: most used clinical applications were anatomical models and cutting guides; production took place in-house or as "in-house-outsourced" workflows; the surgeon alone was involved in POC 3DP in 36 papers; the use of free versus paid planning software was balanced (50.72% vs. 49.27%); average planning time was 4.44 h; overall operating time decreased and outcomes were favorable, though evidence-based studies were limited; and finally, the heterogenous cost reports made a comprehensive financial analysis difficult. Overall, the development of in-house 3D printed devices supports CMF surgery, and encouraging results indicate that the technology has matured considerably.
