Remote Orthotic Fabrication Method Using Small Three-Dimensional Printers and Computed Tomography Data: A Technical Report.
Article in Fukushima journal of medical science, 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
introductionComputer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods have gained prominence in early orthotic provision. This study introduces an innovative approach using compact three-dimensional (3D) printers and computed tomography data to generate segmented body models for traditional Damen corset orthoses. The goals included evaluating the comfort and fit of orthoses and assessing the effectiveness of our approach for prosthetic companies with limited financial resources. MATERIALS AND
methodsLumbar and thoracolumbar orthoses were crafted via CAD/CAM. Four healthy patients wore the orthoses, with whom immediate and 1-week comfort and fit assessments were conducted. A prosthetist assessed fit, and the Japanese edition of OPUS-CSD, the Orthotics Prosthetics Users' Survey-Client Satisfaction with Device, was used for subjective assessment of comfort and fit.
resultsThe fit evaluations were satisfactory for all patients with positive predefined criteria. Questionnaire responses confirmed high satisfaction and comfort, confirming a successful orthosis fit.
conclusionWe established an orthotic fabrication method using CAD/CAM methods with 3D printers. Additionally, we confirmed the comfort and fit of the corsets so produced. The initial cost of 3D printers is lower than that of traditional carving machines, enabling even small-scale orthotic fabrication facilities to utilize CAD/CAM methods. Further research and refinements of this manufacturing approach are expected to expand its applicability.
