A Massive Craniofacial Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia of Midface - A Rare Case Report.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Rationale: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous lesion of the osseous structures of the body. With an incidence of 1:4000-1:10,000, it seems to be a rare disease. Polyostotic craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involves the skull base bones and facial bones. Patient Concerns: The patient complained of a huge swelling over the right side of her face for the past 12 years. Diagnosis: Based on clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, the swelling was diagnosed as polyostotic craniofacial FD. Treatment: Swelling over the right side of the midface around 6 cm × 5 cm involving right maxilla, zygoma, floor of orbit, lateral side of nose (pyriform aperture) and skull base bones. Since the patient had no functional deficit, we opted for surgical recontouring. Outcomes: The patient was satisfied with post-operative results. Take-Away Lessons: In huge asymptomatic facial deformity, rather than going for resection, we can remove bone in a piecemeal manner followed by recontouring.
