The current application of 3D printing simulator in surgical training.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 the rapidly evolving field of medical education, the integration of innovative technologies has become paramount to enhance the training and proficiency of future surgeons. Among these advancements, the application of 3D printing technology stands out as a useful tool in surgical training. The advantages of the 3D printing model include customization, re-usability and low-cost. The average cost of the 3D printing simulators was between $100-1000. However, there were extremely high potential labor cost during the 3D printing that hadn't been calculated into. Additionally, in the current stage, the 3D printing simulator still have specific limitations. The most mentioned limitation was poor haptic feedback of the simulators, which was very important during the surgical training, since it is the key element for junior doctors to master practical procedures. Also, some simulators didn't possess the integrated and elaborate structure as the human tissue, hence not the whole surgical procedures can be practiced by the trainees, and further improvement should be made. Although there are shortages, many studies have proved that 3D printing simulator can effectively reduce learning curves and is useful to enhance the trainees' surgical skills.
