Design considerations for patient-specific bone fixation plates: a literature review.
Review in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In orthopedic surgery, patient-specific bone plates are used for fixation when conventional bone plates do not fit the specific anatomy of a patient. However, plate failure can occur due to a lack of properly established design parameters that support optimal biomechanical properties of the plate.This review provides an overview of design parameters and biomechanical properties of patient-specific bone plates, which can assist in the design of the optimal plate.A literature search was conducted through PubMed and Embase, resulting in the inclusion of 78 studies, comprising clinical studies using patient-specific bone plates for fracture fixation or experimental studies that evaluated biomechanical properties or design parameters of bone plates. Biomechanical properties of the plates, including elastic stiffness, yield strength, tensile strength, and Poisson's ratio are influenced by various factors, such as material properties, geometry, interface distance, fixation mechanism, screw pattern, working length and manufacturing techniques.Although variations within studies challenge direct translation of experimental results into clinical practice, this review serves as a useful reference guide to determine which parameters must be carefully considered during the design and manufacturing process to achieve the desired biomechanical properties of a plate for fixation of a specific type of fracture.
