1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewThis article reviews the basics of 3D printing and provides an overview of current and future applications of this emerging technology in pediatric orthopedic surgery. RECENT

findingsBoth preoperative and intraoperative utilization of 3D printing technology have enhanced clinical care. Potential benefits include more accurate surgical planning, shortening of a surgical learning curve, decrease in intraoperative blood loss, less operative time, and fluoroscopic time. Furthermore, patient-specific instrumentation can be used to improve the safety and accuracy of surgical care. Patient-physician communication can also benefit from 3D printing technology. 3D printing is rapidly advancing in the field of pediatric orthopedic surgery. It has the potential to increase the value of several pediatric orthopedic procedures by enhancing safety and accuracy while saving time. Future efforts in cost reduction strategies, making patient-specific implants including biologic substitutes and scaffolds, will further increase the relevance of 3D technology in the field of pediatric orthopedic surgery.
