Three-Dimensional Printing Guided for Double Meniscal Allograft Transplantation.

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
In complex cases of meniscus allograft transplantation, such as in double transplants, and when they are combined with ligament reconstructions, there is a high risk of tunnel overlap, which may compromise graft integrity and lead to treatment failure. Additionally, matching the meniscal allograft size to the patient's knee anatomy is critical and challenging. To address these challenges, a preoperative protocol was developed using three-dimensional (3D) printing. First, tomography of the knee is used to make a 3D model of the proximal tibia. This model is printed in real size and is used for allograft selection. The surgical team uses the model to determine the drilling parameters of the tunnels for the double meniscus allograft transplantation and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, ensuring that no overlap occurs. Finally, the 3D model serves as a guide during surgery for accurate tunnel and graft placement. The 3D model provides a versatile tool for planning meniscal transplants, especially in revision surgeries or complex cases, improving preoperative visualization and surgical precision. This technique can ensure optimal graft selection, facilitate precise replication of the drilling parameters, and enhance surgical outcomes.
