Microstomia Release in Post-burn Contractures: 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
Microstomia following orofacial and neck burns with subsequent contractures poses a significant challenge to the anesthesiologist as well as the plastic surgeon. Fibrosed external nares, microstomia, and contracture bands make a difficult airway. Deformed facial structure and raw area of burns make ventilation difficult. One of the significant causes of morbidity and mortality under anesthesia is the "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" scenario. Further reconstruction of oral commissures in such cases is always challenging because it provides good functional and acceptable aesthetic results. Here, we present a case of microstomia having limited mouth opening in which fiberoptic nasal intubation and bilateral oral commissuroplasty were performed for microstomia release. In our case, we achieved mouth opening, which was preoperatively 15 mm to 55 mm postoperatively using Dieffenbach commissuroplasty.
