Preoperative simulated surgery on 3D model assists osteotomy feasibility verification and surgical guidance for patients with cubitus valgus/varus deformity: a retrospective observational study.
Observational study in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAs the common delayed complication of supracondylar fractures in children, cubitus valgus/varus deformity might lead to pain and loss of motion of the elbow. The current corrective treatment might not be accurate enough and even contribute to postoperative deformity. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical value of preoperative simulated surgery on 3D model-assisted osteotomy feasibility verification and surgical guidance for cubitus valgus/varus deformity.
methodsSeventeen patients were selected from October 2016 to November 2019. Deformities were analyzed from imaging data and 3D models and corrected after the simulated operations. The radiographic evaluation comprised osseous union, carrying angle, and anteversion angle of the distal humerus. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scoring system.
resultsAll patients underwent the operation successfully and had no postoperative deformity. The carrying angle was significantly improved postoperatively (P < 0.001). The anteversion angle of the distal humerus did not change significantly (P > 0.05). The HSS score rose after surgery (P < 0.001). The function of the elbow joint was excellent in seven cases and good in ten cases.
conclusionSimulated surgery on 3D model plays an important role in osteotomy plan and surgical guidance, contributing to good surgical efficacy.
