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
introduction and importanceOrthognathic surgery plays a crucial role in the correction of facial deformities, particularly for patients presenting with unique medical challenges such as edentulousness and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) positivity. This case study focuses on a 40-year-old male patient who exemplifies the need for tailored surgical interventions in complex cases. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient received a treatment plan that included customized dentures and a novel modified Gunning splint designed by our team. This device improved surgical precision by reducing measurement inaccuracies, allowing for precise planning of a Le Fort I osteotomy, resulting in a 6 mm advancement of the maxilla and a 3 mm setback of the mandible. DISCUSSION: The complexities associated with treating edentulous patients, especially those with chronic illnesses like HCV, are profound. The integration of this innovative device not only improved surgical accuracy but also enhanced operational efficiency, effectively addressing both functional and aesthetic needs of the patient. The collaborative efforts across dental specialties were instrumental in optimizing surgical outcomes. Moreover, the necessity for ongoing adjustments in the post-operative phase highlighted the dynamic nature of patient care management.
conclusionThis case study highlights the potential of combining innovative technologies with personalized treatment in orthognathic surgery. The successful management of an edentulous, HCV-positive patient improved surgical outcomes and informs care practices for similar populations. It also paves the way for future research on innovative surgical devices in complex cases.
