1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Total alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJ-TJR) has once again become the focus of therapy for end-stage destroyed joints. Although material quality has increased significantly in terms of service life and wear, problems occur even with patient-specific (PSI) prostheses. Here, mainly the ramus components are affected and an occurrence of screw loosening or fractures in the area of the fossa of stock joints is rare and has not yet been described for patient-specific (PSI) components. Although very rare, such events pose a great challenge to both practitioners and affected patients, especially in the case of PSI components, not least due to the long time required for new fabrication. The case report shows a non-described screw fracture of a PSI-TMJ fossa and the first description of a temporary revision using a PSI-TMJ fossa made of bone cement.
