Application of 3D printing technology for pre-operative evaluation, education and informed consent in pediatric retroperitoneal tumors.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06418243 (Non-interventional Study on the Contribution of 3D Modelling in Surgical Management of Pediatric Retroperitoneal and Pelvic Tumors Compared to 2D Imaging), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
To investigate usefulness of 3D printing for preoperative evaluations, student and resident education, and communication with parents or guardians of patients with pediatric retroperitoneal tumors. Ten patients planning retroperitoneal tumor resection between March and November 2019 were included. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) images were used for 3D reconstruction and printing. Surveyed items were understanding of preoperative lesions with 3 different modules (CT, 3D reconstruction, and 3D printing) by students, residents, and specialists; satisfaction of specialists; and comprehension by guardians after preoperative explanations with each module. The median age at operation was 4.2 years (range, 1.8-18.1), and 8 patients were diagnosed with neuroblastoma. The 3D printing was the most understandable module for all groups (for students, residents, and specialists, P = 0.002, 0.027, 0.013, respectively). No significant intraoperative adverse events or immediate postoperative complications occurred. All specialists stated that 3D printing enhanced their understanding of cases. Guardians answered that 3D printing were the easiest to comprehend among the 3 modules (P = 0.007). Use of 3D printing in treatment of pediatric patients with retroperitoneal tumors was useful for preoperative planning, education, and parental explaining with obtaining informed consents.
