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
Objectives: This work aims to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of Chinese customized three-dimensional (3D) -printed miniplates by means of finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: A 3D Lefort I osteotomy model was established by Mimics. Two models were established to compare the strain behaviors of customized miniplate and conventional L-shaped miniplate. Hypermesh and ABAQUS were used to establish computer-aided engineering finite element models. The stress distribution on the mini-plates, screws and bone and the relative displacement of the maxilla segments were analyzed by loading postoperative occlusal force. Results: The displacements for customized mini-plate fixation were notably smaller than L-shaped mini-plate fixation. The maximum stresses on the screws, mini-plates and cortical bone for customized mini-plates were smaller than that for L-shaped miniplates. Conclusion: Chinese customized 3D-printed miniplates provide better postoperative stability and offer a good alternative to the conventional L-shaped miniplate system.
