The application of three-dimensional printed patient-specific drilling templates for expansive open-door laminoplasty: A single-center, prospective randomized controlled study.

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: The choice of trough position in Expansive open-door laminoplasty (EOLP) mostly relied on bony landmarks and surgeons' experience. The present study was to validate the efficacy of the three-dimensional (3D) printed patient-specific drilling templates with the function of locating and depth control for EOLP. Materials and Methods: A single-center, prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on the patients who underwent unilateral EOLP from August 2019 to December 2020. The 3D printed patient-specific drilling template was fabricated and used in the template group. All the EOLP were performed by a senior surgeon and a junior surgeon. The clinical outcomes and radiographic results were evaluated. Results: A total of 37 patients who completed the 12-month follow-up were analyzed. The clinical outcomes were significantly improved after surgery in both groups ( Conclusion: The application of 3D printed patient-specific drilling templates with the function of locating and depth control for EOLP could improve the outcome of neck pain relief and expand the decompression. It can also improve the satisfaction of the trough position on the open-door side and the hinge side and decrease the complete fracture rate on the hinge side, especially for the junior surgeon.
