Utilization of a 3D-Printed Mandibular Jaw for Ridge Reconstruction in Periodontics: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging manufacturing technology in dentistry with a range of applications. Digital dentistry presented in cone beam CT scan radiographs is a revolution that improved surgical outcomes by optimizing accurate diagnosis and analysis of the surgical sites before surgery. A periodontist can modify the treatment plan, surgical techniques, and incision design based on bone defects seen on cone beam CT scans. Block grafting has been a technique of choice when wound stability is required for guided bone regeneration. There was no significant difference between the different surgical procedures for reconstruction and choice should be given to the simpler and less invasive procedure. A xenograft or allograft block can work as an alternative to the autogenous bone block to reduce the surgery time and patient morbidity. Preparation and shaping of block graft during surgery time to match the defect shape can prolong the operative time, reduce the treatment success, and increase postoperative complications. In this case report, a sterilized 3D-printed mandibular jaw was utilized to visualize the defect size and shape. A bovine xenograft block was then prepared, shaped, and adapted on the 3D-printed jaw 30 minutes before the surgery. The block graft was then transferred and well-fitted on the surgical defect. Handling experience was greater and surgery time and postoperative pain were reduced
