Application study of 3D printing combined with mixed reality technology in teaching percutaneous screw fixation for scaphoid fractures under C-arm fluoroscopy.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 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
objectiveTo investigate the application effect of 3D printing combined with MR technology in teaching the percutaneous screw fixation of scaphoid fractures under C-arm fluoroscopy, providing new ideas to enhance teaching effectiveness in this field.
methodsFrom 2023 to 2024, the trainee residents and graduate students rotating in our department were randomly divided into two groups: the MR glasses + 3D printing group (21 people) and the traditional teaching group (21 people). In the MR glasses + 3D printing group, the trainees first used Meta Quest3 glasses to learn the anatomy of the carpal bones and the operation of percutaneous screw fixation of scaphoid fractures under C-arm fluoroscopy, and then practiced percutaneous screw fixation of scaphoid fractures on a 3D-printed wrist joint model. In the traditional teaching group, the trainees received traditional PPT lectures and then practiced percutaneous screw fixation of scaphoid fractures on a 3D-printed wrist joint model. Teaching effectiveness was evaluated through theoretical, operational assessments, and a self-designed questionnaire. Each item in the questionnaire was scored out of 10, with higher scores indicating better teaching effectiveness, and 0 indicating poor performance, while 10 indicated excellent performance.
resultsThe success rate of fixation in the MR glasses + 3D printing group was 90.48% (19/21), while that in the traditional teaching group was 80.95% (17/21). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The operation time for the MR glasses + 3D printing group was (27.43 ± 3.17) minutes, while that for the traditional teaching group was (40.00 ± 3.74) minutes, with a statistically significant difference. The questionnaire results showed that the experimental group scored higher than the traditional teaching group in aspects such as enhancing classroom atmosphere, course satisfaction, learning concentration, mastery of theoretical knowledge, and analytical problem-solving abilities (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe combination of 3D printing and MR technology improves physicians’ understanding of the theoretical basis and operational skills for percutaneous screw fixation of scaphoid fractures under C-arm fluoroscopy, enhances the fun of training, and has a promising application prospect in orthopedic education.
