Virtual Surgical Planning Computer-aided Design-guided Osteocutaneous Fibular Free Flap for Craniofacial Reconstruction: A Novel Surgical Approach.
Review in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Advancements and increased availability of radiological services have revolutionised our approach to oncological and reconstructive surgical practice. With an increasing demand for accuracy in diagnosis and improved oncological outcome, the requirement for precise application of radiological tools and the exploration of novel software has developed. This has led to the evaluation of modern technologies such as computer-aided design to enhance reconstructive surgery. Mandibular reconstruction following oncological resection using an osteocutaneous fibular free flap is now considered to be the gold standard reconstructive surgical approach, as this approach provides more satisfactory outcomes for both patients and reconstructive surgeons. Recent years have seen Irish reconstructive surgeons introduce computer-aided design pre-operative planning to operating theatres as means of improving cosmetic, functional and oncological outcome, yet the detailed, complex planning required pre-operatively is not well described. Herein, the purpose of this article was to demonstrate the precision and accuracy of virtual surgical planning computer-aided design (VSP-CAD) as a modern surgical approach to craniofacial reconstruction following surgical resection of an American Joint Committee on Cancer stage 4 oral carcinoma.
