Managing Oroantral Fistula With Chronic Osteomyelitis Using a Nasolabial Flap: 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. 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
Oroantral fistula (OAF) represents the pathological communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus. This condition arises when the structural integrity of the maxillary sinus floor is compromised, resulting in a direct conduit between the sinus and the oral cavity. A less prevalent yet clinically significant contributor to the formation of OAF is chronic osteomyelitis of the maxilla. Therapeutic approaches for OAF are contingent upon the dimensions of the defect, underlying causative factors, and specific patient characteristics. Among the diverse treatment options, nasolabial flap has been recognized as an efficacious and dependable method for the reconstruction of OAF, particularly in cases involving extensive or recurrent defects. The current case report delineates the management of a recurrent OAF in a 52-year-old male patient, which was further complicated by chronic osteomyelitis and managed through nasolabial flap surgical intervention.
