Condyle Fracture Fixed with Custom-Made Titanium Mesh and a Miniplate: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 Open reduction and internal fixation of condyle fractures are sometimes difficult for the upper region. This report presents a case of condyle fracture at the upper neck region treated with a custom-made titanium mesh and a titanium miniplate, which makes it easy to reposition the fragment and keep it in place. CASE REPORT A 20-year-old man was injured during a soccer match and was referred to our hospital with the symptom of trismus and deviation of the mandible to the left with an opened mouth. Fracture of the right condyle neck region was diagnosed; open reduction and internal fixation was planned under general anesthesia. A custom-made titanium mesh was prepared to make it easy to reposition the fragment and keep it in place because the reduction and fixation were expected to be difficult. The fracture region was exposed using the modified Risdon-Strasbourg approach. The segments were gripped with custom-made titanium mesh, and the condyle head was reduced easily. The segments were fixed with titanium mesh, a miniplate, and screws. Nine months after the operation, the mouth opening was good at 40 mm, there was no deviation of the mandible, and there was no breakage on the titanium mesh or plate. CONCLUSIONS This report presents a case of condyle fracture at the upper neck region reduced and fixed with a custom-made titanium mesh and a titanium miniplate, which make it easy to reposition the fragment and keep it in place.
