Decellularized allografts as an alternative for reconstruction of large inferior alveolar nerve defects: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundInferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injuries are a clinical problem with devastating consequences, causing temporary or permanent paresthesia, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life. Despite morbidity, side effects and controversy regarding its results, autologous nerve grafting is still the main treatment for these type of lesions. However, due to advances in knowledge about nerve damage and with the aim of preventing the described problems of autografts, new treatment alternatives based on decellularized allografts have emerged. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the reported efficacy of decellularized allografts for the treatment of IAN damage. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe performed a systematic search in Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases following the PRISMA guidelines. Cohort studies, randomized or non-randomized clinical studies, prospective or retrospective studies, without age limits and language restriction that included human subjects who received decellularized allograft as treatment for IAN damage were included.
resultsSix articles met the inclusion criteria and were included for data analysis. In all 6 articles, resolution of IAN damage was observed in more than 85% of patients after a 12-month follow-up period, and in 2 of them, complete resolution was observed in 100% of their patients at longer follow-ups.
conclusionsDecellularized allograft appears to be a promising alternative to resolve IAN lesions, without requiring a nerve autograft procedure. However, more randomized clinical trials are needed to validate adequate treatment modalities with decellularized allografts.
