Three-dimensional printing in orthopaedic surgery: A review of current and future applications.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a form of technology in which 3D physical models are created. It has been used in a variety of surgical specialities ranging from cranio-maxillo-facial to orthopaedic surgery and is currently an area of much interest within the medical profession. Within the field of orthopaedic surgery, 3D printing has several clinical applications including surgical education, surgical planning, manufacture of patient-specific prostheses/patient specific instruments and bone tissue engineering. This article reviews the current practices of 3D printing in orthopaedic surgery in both clinical and pre-clinical settings along with discussing its potential future applications.
