Paradigm Shift in Rhinoplasty with Virtual 3D Surgery Software and 3D Printing Technology.
Article in Archives of plastic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Most Asians have a nose with a short columella and a low dorsum; augmentation rhinoplasty using implants is commonly performed in Asian countries to achieve a taller and more well-defined nasal dorsum. However, the current knowledge is insufficient to fully understand the various subjective desires of patients, reflect on them during surgery, or to objectively analyze the results after surgery. Advances in digital imaging technologies, such as 3D printing and 3D scanning, have transformed the medical system from hospital-centric to patient-centric throughout the medical field. In this study, we applied these techniques to rhinoplasty. First, we used virtual 3D plastic surgery software to enable surgical planning through objectified numerical calculations based on the visualized data of the patient's medical images rather than simple virtual plastic surgery. Second, the customized nasal implant was manufactured by reflecting the patient's anatomical shape and virtual 3D plastic surgery data. Taken together, we describe the surgical results of applying these rhinoplasty solutions in four patients. Our experience indicates that high fidelity and patient satisfaction can be achieved by applying these techniques.
