Mandibular Reconstruction With the Contralateral Vascularized Iliac Flap Using Individual Design: Iliac Crest Used to Reconstruct the Ramus and the Anterior Border of the Iliac Wing Used to Reconstruct the Inferior Border: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mandible defects resulting from resection of benign or malignant lesions, trauma, or radionecrosis are commonly encountered in the oral and maxillofacial department. Vascularized bone flaps, in general, provide the best functional and aesthetic outcome. The iliac crest provides a large piece of curved cortico-cancellous bone, measuring 6-16 cm in length. It has a natural curvature that complements the curve of the lateral and sometimes anterior mandible and can be placed accordingly to fill defects. In the paper, we report a mandibular reconstruction with a vascularized iliac flap using individual virtual preoperative planning and 3D printing technology. We want to offer a new design idea for mandibular defect reconstruction.
