Utilization of Virtual Surgical Planning for Surgical Splint-Assisted Comminuted Maxillomandibular Fracture Reduction and/or Fixation.
Article in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
STUDY
designThis article was a technical note.
objectiveTo demonstrate the utilization of virtual surgical planning for surgical splint (VSPSS) fabrication. The VSPSS was used as an intraoperative assisting and guiding tool for reduction and/or fixation of treatment of comminuted maxillomandibular fractures.
methodsThe presented technical note showed the fabrication process that began with data acquisition and presurgical planning using virtual surgical planning (VSP). The VSPSS was designed and fabricated after the fractures were reduced digitally in VSP. In the operating room, the VSPSS was seated to guide reduction and/or allow satisfactory fixation in three different situations.
resultsPostoperative radiographs showed an acceptable reduction of the fractures. All patients had stable and repeatable occlusion postoperatively.
conclusionsThe VSPSS is a feasible tool for surgeons to assist in the comminuted maxillomandibular fracture management, decrease operating time, and improve fracture stability.
