Effect of 3D printing technology-assisted TKA on cartilage tissue in rabbit with knee osteoarthritis.
Article in Histology and histopathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic degenerative joint disease. 3D printing technology has become one of the important directions of medical development along with individualized precision treatment in orthopedics.
objectiveTo investigate the effect of 3D printing technology-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on cartilage in rabbits with KOA.
methodsA rabbit model of KOA was established and treated by TKA or 3D printing-assisted TKA. Four weeks after treatment, radiological evaluation of rabbit knees was performed by X-ray examination, in order to observe the severity of osteoarthritic lesions. Then the knee joints of rabbits were collected for Hematoxylin-eosin, Toluidine blue, and Safranin O-Fast green staining. The expressions of cartilage matrix metabolism-related and apoptosis-related genes were scrutinized by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The levels of inflammatory-related factors in the cartilage tissues of rabbits were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsIn rabbits with KOA, 3D printing technology-assisted TKA alleviated the inflammation and bone remodeling of the knee joint, relieved synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration in the articular cartilage, reduced articular cartilage degradation, suppressed cartilage matrix metabolism, and mitigated the inflammatory response and apoptosis of cartilage cells.
conclusion3D printing technology-assisted TKA exhibits a good treatment effect in rabbit KOA. This study provides an important basis for the clinical application of 3D printing technology-assisted TKA in KOA treatment.
