Orthomorphic Correction for Facial Asymmetry in a Patient With Long-Standing Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report presents the successful management of a 28-year-old female patient with facial deformity resulting from long-standing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. The patient underwent orthomorphic correction using a stereolithographic model of the upper and lower jaw to aid in surgical planning. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia via an intraoral approach. Cancellous bone graft harvested from the anterior iliac crest was utilized to cover the bone defect caused by the orthomorphic rotation of the lower jaw. The patient experienced satisfactory postoperative healing, and a six-month follow-up revealed significant improvement in facial symmetry and function.
