Bridging the Gap Between Immediate Surgical and Definitive Oral Rehabilitation With Interim Obturators: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Maxillectomy can result in various functional deficits for the patient, such as hypernasal speech, difficulty in deglutition, fistula formation, and loss of support for cheeks and lips. Surgical reconstruction might be the ideal treatment for rehabilitation of maxillectomy defects, but it is seldom done, particularly if the defect is significant and the tissues are exposed to radiotherapy. Since a definite obturator is deferred till complete healing of the surgical site has occurred, an interim obturator helps in achieving normalcy. Apart from restoring the functions of speech and deglutition, the interim obturator has a great psychological benefit to the patient in regaining social acceptance. In this case report, we describe how our patients benefitted from an interdisciplinary team approach with the help of interim obturators till the surgical site attained stability for the fabrication of definite obturators, thereby improving their overall quality of life.
