SlicerMorph photogrammetry: an open-source photogrammetry workflow for reconstructing 3D models.
Article in Biology open, 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
High-fidelity three-dimensional (3D) models of skeletal specimens underpin many ecological and evolutionary analyses. Here we present a fully open pipeline inside the 3D Slicer platform that couples automatic image masking by the Segment Anything Model (SAM) with surface reconstruction by the OpenDroneMap (NodeODM) engine, all wrapped in a user-friendly extension. To test accuracy, we photographed 14 mountain-beaver skulls, reconstructed 3D models with the new pipeline and with our previous workflow and compared each model to its micro-CT reference using mean surface distance, root mean square error (RMSE), Hausdorff, and Chamfer metrics. Our improved pipeline that integrates masking to the model reconstructed lowered mean distance and RMSE by 10-15% across specimens and reduced visible artefacts around thin elements such as zygomatic arches; Hausdorff distance changed little, indicating that gains were global rather than confined to outliers. Our new extension provides a convenient workflow that integrates masking, scaling, and reconstruction under one interface.
