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
Increasing the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is often indicated in complex oral rehabilitation to gain restorative space and improve the occlusal relationship and aesthetics. The effect of increasing the OVD on lower facial height and facial aesthetics is not well understood and evaluated. The authors present the philosophy of the neuromuscular concept and illustrate it through a case report of a 58-year-old female patient who presented severe deep bite, bruxism, and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). After clinical evaluation, the extraoral examination showed a reduction of the lower facial height, protuberant lips, wrinkles, and over-closed commissures. In addition, intraoral examination showed a severe anterior deep bite articulation, and the upper incisors completely covering the lower incisors labial surfaces. Through the philosophy of the neuromuscular concept the diagnostic ability, the quality and stability of the treatment increases. A temporary long-term fixed prosthesis was made at the enlarged OVD to be used in the first stage of the rehabilitation. Compared to the initial situation, the new prosthesis was delivered at a vertical dimension (VD) higher with 7 mm. The purpose of the neuromuscular philosophy and methodology is to harmonize the facial profile, functional occlusion, the joint function, and neuromuscular control. Through the neuromuscular methodology, we can assess the patient's ability to manage a significant increase in VD and to restore a functional OVD by physiological measurements.
