original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Three-dimensional printing models improve understanding of spinal fracture-A randomized controlled study in China
Sci Rep. 2015 Jun 23;5:11570.120 third year medical students were randomized to study the anatomy of a spinal fracture via a CT image, 3D image, or a 3D printing (3Dp) model. The purpose of the study was to assess whether the teaching method had an effect on the acquired knowledge of spinal anatomy and whether there was an effect of sex. The findings indicated that both 3D groups performed significantly better on the spinal fracture assessment in comparison to the CT group and gender effects were only seen in the 3D image group, favouring male participants.
