1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Coronoid process hyperplasia (CPH) is a rare condition characterized by the increase in the size of the coronoid process, mainly occurring in the second decades of human life. To provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, we reported the clinical manifestations of two cases, X-ray examination, treatment, and prognosis with mandibular movement and restricted mouth opening (RMO) caused by bilateral CPH. The opening degree of the two cases described in the article increased to almost 40 mm immediately after the elongated coronoid process was surgically removed and a case was maintained normal after 2 months. In another case, CPH recurred after 2 years of follow-up. The etiology of CPH is still unclear, which is associated with various factors. RMO caused by CPH is extremely rare in clinical practice, and it is easy for patients to get confused and be misdiagnosed. It should be diagnosed using comprehensive methods of clinical studies and imaging modalities. Currently, surgical coronoidectomy is an accepted treatment of CPH. Long-term effective opening training is crucial in maintaining its therapeutic effect.
