Construction of reusable fluorescent assembled 3D-printed hydrogen-based models to simulate minimally invasive resection of complex liver cancer.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Complex liver cancer is often difficult to expose or dissect, and the surgery is often challenging. 3D-printed models may realistically present 3D anatomical structure, which has certain value in planning and training of liver surgery. However, the existing 3D-printed models are all monolithic models, which are difficult to reuse and limited in clinical application. It is also rare to carry fluorescence to accurately present tumor lesions. Here we report reusable fluorescent assembled 3D-printed models to mimic minimally invasive resection of complex liver cancer. Based on the models, multiple copies of liver lesion structure assembled accessories can be printed for the same patient or different patients, ensuring the quantity and quality of simulated surgical training, and greatly reducing the cost of simulated surgical training. The addition of fluorescence is helpful in accurately presenting tumor lesions. The reusable fluorescent assembled 3D-printed models may mimic minimally invasive resection of complex liver cancer, demonstrating potential value in simulated surgery.
