Digitally fabricated precision attachment with cast partial framework retained obturator in a partial maxillectomy patient following mucormycosis: A case report.
Article in National journal of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Oral mucormycosis mainly involves the maxilla, although it can also affect other areas of the oral cavity. Mucormycosis infection involving the maxilla spreads rapidly leading to the palatal perforation and necrosis of the bone, which eventually leads to intraoral communication between the oral and nasal cavities leading to difficulty in speech, deglutition, and mastication. Although surgical reconstruction is the best treatment modality, reconstruction of large defects still remains questionable, so prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patients restores normal functioning, enhances aesthetics, and boosts the confidence of the patient. This case presentation describes the amalgam of both conventional and digital techniques to bring out an economical and effective possible treatment modality for the rehabilitation of such patients. This case report entails the usage of a digitally fabricated precision attachment retained definitive prosthesis as a simple and effective approach to restore the acquired maxillary defect following mucormycosis.
