1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Computer-assisted navigation has been established as a valuable tool in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery. However, the steep learning curve associated with mandibular navigation surgery has hindered its widespread adoption. This study introduces a non-invasive, convenient, and accurate navigation method for mandibular surgery and evaluates its clinical effectiveness. Methods: A modified patient-specific dynamic reference frame (PS-DRF) was designed and fabricated based on the patient's lower jaw dental cast, integrating navigation technology with 3D printing. During surgery, the PS-DRF was securely affixed to the lower dentition, enabling automatic pair-point registration through fiducial localization via a navigation probe. The surgical procedure was conducted under real-time navigation guidance. Results: Preoperative registration and intraoperative navigation were successfully achieved in this case. The navigation-guided mandibular surgery was completed without complications. Postoperative superimposition of the simulated virtual model and the actual surgical outcome demonstrated high accuracy, with a deviation of less than 2 mm. Conclusion: The PS-DRF system offers a convenient, effective, and adaptable approach by integrating navigation technology with 3D printing. This method has the potential to simplify navigation-assisted mandibular surgery and facilitate the broader clinical implementation of computer-assisted navigation in maxillofacial procedures.
