Self-Retaining Photography Cheek Retractor as an Excellent Aid for Upper Jaw Surgeries: A Technical Note.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Proper retraction of soft and hard tissues is essential to a successful surgery. The Technique: The authors wish to report the use of a self-retaining photography cheek retractor during a Le Fort 1 surgery and an alveolar bone graft surgery which proved beneficial by achieving very good retraction. Conclusion: This is an eye opener to modify the traditional photography retractor to maximise its benefits as a retractor in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery.
