1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe edentulous patients with unstable mandibular position (MP) and uncoordinated mandibular movement (MM) usually complain the poor therapeutic effect when conventional complete dentures (CCDs) are delivered. This case report aims to observe whether neuromuscular training (NT) using therapeutic complete dentures (TCDs) can improve the MP and MM, thereby promoting the effect of the definitive dentures. CASE PRESENTATION: NT was conducted using TCDs for an edentulous patient with unstable MP and uncoordinated MM. After a period of masticatory exercises, the patient's MP and MM improved. Finally, the definitive dentures were delivered, achieving satisfactory results.

conclusionNT with TCDs can improve unstable MP and uncoordinated MM, leading to successful rehabilitation in edentulous patient.
