Patient-Specific Implants in Maxillofacial Reconstruction - A 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. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: The successful utilisation of three dimensional (3D) techniques in engineering a titanium patient specific implant (PSI) for a patient who underwent hemimaxillectomy following post COVID mucormycosis infection. Patient Concerns: Issues related to problems associated with resection following mucormycosis, such as occlusal function, aesthetics and facial asymmetry. Diagnosis: The patient affected by mucormycosis was left with Aramany class 1 and Cordeiro type II sub total maxillectomy defect. Treatment: The patient was operated for mucormycosis followed by reconstruction with patient specific implant. Outcome: Positive clinical outcomes, including improved facial symmetry, function and psychological well being with immediate replacement of the teeth, the benefits of which far outweigh the traditional approach. Take away Lessons: The advances in the use of PSI by integration of 3D printing and computer aided design computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology for extensive and challenging defects in the maxillofacial region have been highlighted in this case report.
