Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Cutting Guides for Odontectomy of Deeply Impacted Mandibular Third Molars.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2018. 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
aimTo evaluate a new technique for surgical removal of deeply impacted mandibular third molars (DIMTM), using computer-guided cutting guide to maintain inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) integrity and the covering buccal bone. PATIENTS AND
methodsEighteen cases indicated for removal of DIMTM. Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCTs) used to determine the tooth's relation to the IAN. Computer-guided software used for fabrication of surgical cutting guide stent to expose the impacted tooth and repositioning of bone after odontectomy without fixation. Clinical assessment included a neurosensory deficit of IAN, pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS), facial swelling, and maximal mouth opening (MMO). CBCTs were taken immediately and six months postoperatively to evaluate position and healing of bone.
resultsNone of the patients showed a permanent neurological deficit of IAN while all patients showed normal parameters of pain, facial swelling and MMO.
conclusionthis technique has shown the accurate determination of the bony window cuts with subsequent preservation of IAN and external oblique ridge.
