Three-Dimensional Simulation Accuracy and Patient Satisfaction With Rhinoplasty.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Achieving aesthetic satisfaction in patients undergoing rhinoplasty requires not only surgical precision but also effective communication of expected outcomes. Three-dimensional (3D) simulation has emerged as a promising tool for aligning patient expectations with surgical planning. Objectives: The authors of this study aim to evaluate the relationship between postoperative satisfaction in patients undergoing rhinoplasty and 3D simulation accuracy using the Crisalix simulation platform (Crisalix SA, Lausanne, Switzerland). Methods: This retrospective study included 38 patients who underwent aesthetic rhinoplasty with preoperative 3D simulation. Morphometric analysis compared the nasal parameters of the simulations with actual postoperative outcomes. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the FACE-Q scale. Similarity scores were rated by each patient and 2 independent surgeons, and the correlations were analyzed. Results: Crisalix simulation accuracy showed a strong correlation with postoperative patient satisfaction ( Conclusions: The authors of this study found higher predictive accuracy, utilizing 3D preoperative simulations, to be significantly associated with greater patient satisfaction. These findings underscore the potential utility of 3D simulation as a tool for aligning surgical outcomes with patient expectations and enhancing shared decision making.
