Impact of 3D-printed models in meetings with parents of children undergoing interventional cardiac catheterisation.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Paediatric interventional catheterisation has consistently improved in recent decades, with often highly successful outcomes. However, progress is still required in terms of the information delivered to parents and how parental anxiety is managed. Aim: To investigate the impact of cardiac printed models on improving parental understanding and alleviating anxiety before interventional catheterisation. Methods: The parents of children undergoing interventional cardiac catheterisation were prospectively enrolled in the study. A questionnaire highlighting knowledge and understanding of the condition and cardiac catheterisation per se was scored on a scale of 1-30. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), which generates current anxiety scores, was also used before and after the pre-catheterisation meeting. The "printing group" received an explanation of catheterisation using the device and a three-dimensional (3D) model, while the "control group" received an explanation using only the device and a manual drawing. Results: In total, 76 parents of 50 children were randomly assigned to a "control group" ( Conclusion: 3D-printed models improve parental knowledge and understanding of paediatric cardiac catheterisation, thereby reducing anxiety levels.
