Cranioplasty With a Customized Polymethylmethacrylate Implant Using a 3D Printer.
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
The occurrence of cranial injuries has increased dramatically, and due to greater awareness among the people concerned with aesthetics needing skull reconstruction, rehabilitation of these defects has also increased in our modern age. Rehabilitation of these deficiencies with prostheses not only works as a protective shell but also improves the patient's neurological state. These cranial deformities necessitate surgical correction or repair, known as cranioplasty. Its goal is not only to rehabilitate the imperfection aesthetically, but also to alleviate psychological issues and improve the patient's social acceptance and performance. New biomedical tools, technologies, and materials are available to surgeons and prosthodontists to improve aesthetics and functions. The purpose is to develop a novel method involving affordable 3D printing technology for creating individualized polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) implants, aiming to democratize technology in prosthodontics.
