A novel in silico Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum patients.
Article in Physical and engineering sciences in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The purpose of this study is to suggest a novel in silico Nuss procedure that can predict the results of chest wall deformity correction. Three-dimensional (3D) geometric and finite element model of the chest wall were built from the 15-year-old male adolescent patient's computed tomography (CT) image with pectus excavatum of the mild deformity. A simulation of anterior translating the metal bar (T) and a simulation of maintaining equilibrium after 180-degree rotation (RE) were performed respectively. A RE simulation using the chest wall finite element model with intercostal muscles (REM) was also performed. Finally, the quantitative results of each in silico Nuss procedure were compared with those of postoperative patient. Furthermore, various mechanical indicators were compared between simulations. This confirmed that the REM simulation results were most similar to the actual patient's results. Through two clinical indicators that can be compared with postoperative patient and mechanical indicators, the authors consider that the REM of silico Nuss procedure proposed in this study is best simulated the actual surgery.
