Role of Statins in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. 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
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in interest in the use of statins in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The purpose of this literature review was to look into the effectiveness of statins in this area. Using a set of keywords, a thorough search of electronic databases was carried out, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), and ProQuest. The papers considered were just those published in the English language between January 2012 and January 2024. Only human studies were taken into consideration; those involving animals were not. For the final analysis that assessed the use of statins in dentistry, a total of 30 papers were chosen. The designs, sample sizes, and materials employed in the experiments varied. According to the research, statins improve bone regeneration, have antiviral and antibacterial qualities, and work well as a therapeutic adjuvant for the treatment of periodontal disease. The analysis of the literature indicates that statins may be beneficial for treating periodontal disease, promoting bone regeneration, and improving oral health in the context of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Nevertheless, more investigation is required to completely comprehend the function of statins in this domain.
