The Usefulness of a Facial Digital Biobank for Ameloblastoma Resection and Fracture Fixation - A Case Report.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rationale: Ameloblastoma often requires complex facial treatments such as resection and reconstruction, which can be aided using three-dimensional resources towards improved surgical planning, reduction of surgical time, and customization. Patient Concerns: A 51-year-old patient, concerned about submandibular volumetric increase discovered performing imaging exams to install dental implants. Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosed with ameloblastoma, he underwent uneventful partial mandibular resection and placement of prebent mandibular reconstruction plate. Four months later, following a motorcycle accident, a deflection of the plate and mandibular fracture was observed. Using the initial prototyping, a new reconstruction plate was customized and surgically placed to reduce the mandibular fracture, with adequate titanium plate adaptation to the remaining bone and maintenance of aesthetic mandibular contour. Outcomes and Take-away Lessons: The current digital dentistry resources, such as computed tomography and intraoral scan, can be recovered and used as a backup of recorded anatomy anytime in future, providing a long-lasting facial digital biobank.
