Three-dimensional mapping of the greater palatine artery location and physiology.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo develop a novel technique for localizing and reconstructing the greater palatine artery (GPA) using three-dimensional (3D) technology.
methodsA miniaturized intraoral ultrasound transducer was used to imaging landmarks including the GPA, gingival margin (GM), and palatal masticatory mucosa (PMM). A 5-mm-thick solid hydrogel couplant was integrated to replace traditional ultrasound gel and avoid bubbles when moving the transducer.
resultsA panorama image provided the relative localization of landmarks including the GPA, PMM, and hard palate. Short- and long-axis imaging of GPA was performed in five subjects including 3D mapping of GPA branches and surrounding tissues in a volume of 10 mm × 8 mm × 10 mm. Full-mouth Doppler imaging was also demonstrated on both the dorsal and ventral tongue as well as buccal mucosa and sublingual region on two subjects.
conclusionsThis study can measure the vertical distance from the GM to the GPA and depth from PMM to GPA and visualize the GPA localization in a 3D manner, which is critical to evaluate the available volume of palatal donor tissues and avoid sectioning of GPA during surgical harvesting of the tissues. Finally, the transducer's small size facilitates full-mouth Doppler imaging with the potential to improve the assessment, diagnosis, and management of oral mucosa.
