Assessment of the Impact of Different Surgical Techniques on Nerve Function and Sensation after Maxillofacial Surgery.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: One potential long-term side effect of surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region is neurosensory impairment. Due to their physical proximity to the surgical location, the lingual nerve (LN) and inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), two sensory segments of the trigeminal nerve, are always susceptible to damage during third molar extraction. Aim: Assessment of the impact of different surgical techniques on nerve function and sensation after maxillofacial surgery. Methods and Materials: There was retrieval of information from medical records of study participants regarding the presence of symptoms like paresthesia, numbness, loss of sensation in lower lip, difficulty in movement of tongue, and all other findings observed after 7 days of surgical procedures. Clinically neurosensory examinations were utilized to assess nerve damage. Pinprick testing and the two-point discrimination test were used. Results: Seven male patients were found to have damage to LN while nine males suffered damage to trigeminal nerve. 12 female patients were found to have damage to LN while 16 females suffered damage to trigeminal nerve. In total 19 patients suffered damage to LN while 25 patients suffered damage to trigeminal nerve. Conclusion: The incidence of LN damage was 9.5%, and the incidence of trigeminal nerve damage was 12.5%.
