From virtual to reality: application of a novel 3D printing hollow model for early-stage lung cancer in the clinical teaching of thoracoscopic sublobar resection.

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
Background: The integration of medical-engineering interdisciplinary technology has transformed clinical skills and anatomical knowledge teaching. Three-dimensional printing (3DP), an innovative tool, shows promise in enhancing surgical training and anatomical understanding. This study evaluates the educational efficacy of a 3DP lung cancer model optimized for surgery in teaching thoracoscopic sublobar resection. Methods: A total of 62 clinical interns were randomly assigned into two groups: a 3D visualization (3DV) model group and a 3DP model group. Pre- and post-teaching test scores were compared to assess the effectiveness of both models in enhancing anatomical knowledge and surgical skills. Additionally, feedback was collected from the interns regarding the advantages of each model. Results: There was no significant difference in the pre-teaching test scores between the two groups ( Conclusion: The 3DP model, featuring a transparent hollow sublobar boundary, significantly improved comprehension of complex anatomical relationships and enhanced teaching outcomes in surgical skills. It offers an innovative and effective tool for teaching thoracoscopic sublobar resection, with potential applications in surgical navigation.
