A Soft Tissue-Borne Patient-Specific Guide for Foreign Body Removal in the Facial Region.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Foreign body removal in the facial region poses significant challenges due to the complex anatomy and the proximity to critical structures. This study introduces a soft tissue-borne patient-specific guide (PSG) designed to enhance precision and minimize invasiveness in foreign body removal. Four patients underwent foreign body removal using PSGs, with CT and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging employed for segmentation and detailed analysis of both hard and soft tissues. This approach enabled the planning and design of stable and personalized guides. Ultrasound tracing was used for intraoperative verification. All procedures were successful, with minimal scarring, no complications, and reduced operative time. The use of PSGs improved surgical accuracy and efficiency, highlighting their potential for foreign body removal in other regions of the body and for broader clinical applications in maxillofacial surgeries.
