Enhancing Facial Aesthetics Using a Novel Technique: 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
A person's facial appearance matters in both social and professional contexts. Losing teeth has an impact on phonetics and mastication, but it also has an aesthetic effect on the lower face's appearance. Cheek sinking is caused by a decrease in muscular tone and an increase in the rate of resorption of the alveolar ridges. An edentulous patient will transform aesthetically if they receive facial as well as dental rehabilitation. The patient's social contacts and sense of self-worth both improve as a result. When an individual exhibits significant alveolar process resorption, traditional dentures are unable to offer sufficient support, hence requiring supplementary cheek support. Appliances for elevating or plumping the cheeks can be used for this. A 68-year-old male patient reported to the department of prosthodontics with a chief complaint of missing teeth and poor aesthetics. After a complete examination, a complete denture prosthesis with a detachable cheek plumper was planned. Press button retention for cheek plumpers is an advantage due to its easy installation and use. This article outlines a straightforward, inexpensive, and non-invasive process for creating a non-detachable cheek plumper using a press button for those who are edentulous. The two-in-one prosthesis enhances the appearance of the face while also replacing lost teeth.
