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
The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate computer-assisted virtual surgery and the outcomes of mandibular reconstruction using an autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) graft combined with a custom-made titanium mesh (TiMesh) using a three-dimensional (3D) printing model. Eighteen consecutive patients were included, and preoperative virtual simulation surgery was performed using digital data. Segmental bone defects showed deviation of the mandible due to displacement of the condyle and segments, unnatural length of the mandibular body, or poorer intermaxillary relationship compared to the marginal bone defect caused by previous operations. These mandibular disharmonies could be simulated, and virtual surgery was performed on a computer with adjustment of displaced mandibular segments, length of the mandibular body, and dental arch with digital bone augmentation. TiMesh was manually pre-bent using a 3D printing model, and PCBM from the iliac crest was grafted with TiMesh. The short-term clinical results were good; reconstruction of the alveolar crest was prosthetically desirable; and minor complications were observed. In conclusion, virtual reconstruction is crucial for treating complex deviated mandibles. Accurate condylar and dental arch positions with an optimum mandibular length are important for prosthetically satisfactory mandibular reconstruction.
