Virtual 3D reconstruction of complex congenital cardiac anatomy from 3D rotational angiography.
Article in 3D printing in medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundDespite advancements in imaging technologies, including CT scans and MRI, these modalities may still fail to capture intricate details of congenital heart defects accurately. Virtual 3D models have revolutionized the field of pediatric interventional cardiology by providing clinicians with tangible representations of complex anatomical structures. We examined the feasibility and accuracy of utilizing an automated, Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven, cloud-based platform for virtual 3D visualization of complex congenital heart disease obtained from 3D rotational angiography DICOM images.
methodsFive patients selected at random with 3DRA performed in the pediatric cardiac catheterization suite were selected. 3DRA's were performed following published institutional protocols and segmentations performed by primary operators. The 3DRA DICOM images were anonymized as per protocol and exported. Images when then processed by Axial3D Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven cloud-based platform for virtual segmentation. Two separate expert operators were selected to subjectively analyze the segmentations and compare them to the operator reconstructions for anatomic accuracy.
resultsComparing results with local reconstructions by expert operators, five different patient anatomies were analyzed, showcasing Axial3D's ability to produce highly detailed reconstructions with improved visual appeal, including color-coded segments for implanted materials like stents. The reconstructions exhibited superior segmentation of different intrathoracic structures when compared to local models, offering valuable insights for medical professionals and patients.
conclusionsThe use of the AI driven, cloud-based platform for 3D visualization of complex congenital heart lesions presents a promising advancement in pediatric interventional cardiology, facilitating enhanced patient care, procedural planning, and educational opportunities for trainees and patients alike.
