Pathways for the rehabilitation of resection defects in the maxilla.
Article in British dental journal, 2022. 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
Oral rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients is an integral component of the care pathway. Maxillectomy procedures can cause significant defects, such as oronasal fistulas, loss of support for the cheek and lip, aesthetic defects in the middle third of the face and functional impairments. Orofacial rehabilitation plays a fundamental role in restoring aesthetics and functional capabilities, such as speech, mastication and deglutition.Rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients poses a challenge for both clinicians and patients. This paper utilises case examples to demonstrate the treatment options for the oral rehabilitation of these patients. We will summarise the treatment pathways for conventional obturators, delayed (secondary) implant retained fixed rehabilitation following composite free flap and early rehabilitation using a zygomatic implant perforated flap technique. This paper aims to highlight the challenges in treatment planning and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in improving patient outcomes.
