A 3D Printing-Based Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement Simulator: Development and Validation.

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
backgroundSevere pulmonary regurgitation (PR) often occurs after treatment of tetralogy of Fallot with a valve ring patch, leading to enlargement and diverse morphological characteristics of the native right ventricular outflow tract (nRVOT), which increases the difficulty of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). The purpose of this study was to use the TPVR simulator to help doctors improve their surgical skills by simulating the surgical process in vitro.
methodsThe TPVR simulator was developed using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology under computer-aided design. In this study, the TPVR simulator was used for preoperative simulation training and teaching. First, 10 specialists were equally divided into a 3D-printed group and a non-3D-printed group, each performing one TPVR; then, another six specialists and six young surgeons were selected to complete three TPVR simulations.
resultsFor the 3D-printed simulation group, the over-flap time (5.22 min (range: 4.85-5.87 min) vs. 6.72 min (range: 6.12-7.70 min),
conclusionsThe reliability and validity of the TPVR simulator was initially demonstrated and has the potential to be a teaching and training tool for surgeons.
