The World's first 3D-printed PEEK cranial implant: a new horizon in precision and personalized neurosurgery.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cranioplasty is a reconstructive neurosurgical procedure that fixes the cranial bone defects after the craniotomy for brain surgeries like tumours, aneurysms, arterio-venous malformations, subdural empyemas and hematomas. Personalized 3D-printed implants offer various advantages, including anatomical accuracy, functional restoration, time-sparing surgery, excellent cosmetic outcomes through their impeccable adjustment to cranial vault defects, and better clinical outcomes. PEEK has a meritorious profile in terms of high success rate, low complication rate, fracture resistance and low toxicity profile, high strength, high toughness, and excellent biocompatibility in cranioplasty. On the other hand, the need for more cost-effective yet ideal biomaterials must be met for nations and patients with financial constraints. Nevertheless, this additively manufactured 3D-printed cranial implant marks the dawn of a new era in precision and personalized neurosurgery.
