A review of 3D printed medical implant design.
Article in 3D printing in medicine, 2026. 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 paper reviews the design of customized 3D printed (also referred to as additively manufactured) implants. A focus is placed on the information flow of design as it is processed, starting from a patient’s scan and culminating with the 3D printing compatible customized implant’s design. We discuss the challenges related to the introduction of 3D printing technologies into the design of the implant, the variabilities encountered, and opportunities for standardization. The paper identifies research and standardization gaps in four stages of a 3D printed customized implant’s design process, namely, medical imaging, constructing CAD (3D) model of VOI, design, and 3D printing compatible file formatting. We hope the paper will help drive research to overcome future challenges encountered in the design process of 3D printed customized medical implants.
