Trial report in Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe mouth restriction of patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) seriously affects their eating food and the quality of life. There are few reports about improving the oral opening degree in patients with OSF. This study aims to explore the effect of oral opening training on the improvement of mouth opening limitation in patients with OSF treated with local injection.
methodsA total of 220 outpatients with limited mouth opening of OSF were collected from the Center of Stomatology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, and randomly divided into a control group and an experiment group (
resultsA total of 197 patients completed the whole course of treatment, with 107 in the experimental group and 90 in the control group. At the end of treatment, 1 year and 2 years after the treatment, the degree of mouth opening in the experimental group was (36.14±2.62), (39.67±2.67), and (39.80±2.57) mm, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (24.71±1.97), (22.82±2.13), and (22.02±2.09) mm, respectively. The difference was significant (
conclusionsMouth opening training can significantly increase the degree of mouth opening in patients with OSF treated with local injection.
