Three-Dimensional Printing Simulator for Endoscopic Adenoidectomy Training.
Article in OTO open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This article presents an innovative approach to adenoidectomy training through the development of a 3-dimensional (3D) printing model, termed e-A.L.Ex (endoscopic-adenoidectomy learning experience). Adenoidectomy, a common procedure in otolaryngology, has evolved with the integration of endoscopic techniques, necessitating precise training methodologies. The model, created from computed tomography scans and utilizing 3D printing technology, accurately replicates anatomical structures crucial for adenoidectomy. Surgical simulation with bovine thymus mimics adenoid tissue, providing a realistic training experience. Collaboration with a 3D printing company ensured the model's development, emphasizing ethical considerations, and obtaining institutional approval. The discussion highlights the model's significance in enhancing surgical education and addressing the learning curve associated with endoscopic procedures. Overall, the e-A.L.Ex model represents a pivotal tool in advancing endoscopic adenoidectomy training, with implications for improving surgical outcomes.
