Evaluation of the accuracy of 3D-printed patient-specific osteotomy templates in pelvic tumor resection and reconstruction.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe treatment of pelvic tumors has been widely recognized as challenging. Patient-specific osteotomy templates were designed and generated for precise surgery, based on tumor fusion images and 3D printing technology. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of patient-specific osteotomy templates for the resection of pelvic tumors.
methodsFrom April 2014 to August 2023, 27 patients with pelvic tumors at our hospital were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent CT and enhanced MRI before surgery to develop a 3D preoperative imaging plan model for pelvic tumors based on tumor fusion images. For patients in the intraoperative use of osteotomy templates group, we designed and generated patient-specific osteotomy templates for intraoperative assisted tumor resection. For patients in the no use of osteotomy templates group, surgeons performed tumor resection according to conventional techniques. All patients were followed up to obtain postoperative CT images of the pelvis. Preoperative planning osteotomy surface and intraoperative actual osteotomy surface were obtained by means of the image registration technique. Then, the distance deviation and angle deviation between the two surfaces were compared to assess the accuracy of surgery.
resultsSurgery was successfully completed in 27 patients, and all specimens were obtained for tumor-free resection margins. The median of intraoperative bleeding was 2350(1425 ∼ 3000) ml in the intraoperative use of osteotomy templates group and 4500(3150 ∼ 5200)ml in the no use of osteotomy templates group. p-value was 0.016. The median angular deviation of the actual osteotomy surfaces from the planned osteotomy surfaces was 5.02 (2.84 ∼ 7.37)° in the intraoperative use of osteotomy templates group, and 7.17 (4.49 ∼ 11.96)° in the no use of osteotomy templates group. p-value was 0.044. The absolute mean distance deviation between the two surfaces was 4.90 ± 3.01 mm in the intraoperative use of osteotomy templates group, and 7.21 ± 3.89 mm in the no use of osteotomy templates group. p-value was 0.038.
conclusions3D-printed patient-specific osteotomy templates can be accurately customized based on preoperative tumor fusion image, which can help improve the precision of pelvic tumor surgery.
