In-House Three-Dimensional Printing in Orbital Reconstructive Surgery: A Case Report and Future Perspectives.
Article in Cureus, 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
This article discusses the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing in reconstructing the orbital floor of a middle-aged male patient who suffered an orbital fracture due to a fall. A virtual 3D model of the fractured orbit was created using open-source software, allowing for the planning of the defect reconstruction by mirroring the contralateral orbit. A metal reconstruction plate was then molded based on the 3D printed model, sterilized, and utilized during surgery, which resulted in reduced surgical time and improved adaptation. This study examines the advantages, challenges, and future potential of 3D printing in reconstructive surgery, while also relating these findings to current literature on European regulations, costs, and workflows.
