Use of Virtual Surgical Planning in Oral Surgery: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Virtual surgical planning (VSP) represents a significant advancement in craniomaxillofacial surgery by utilizing 3D imaging and computer-aided techniques to enhance precision and improve surgical outcomes. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of VSP in comparison to traditional surgical planning methods. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a systematic review of studies published between 2000 and 2024, sourced from MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE. A total of 22 studies, including cohort, case-control, and randomized controlled trials, were analyzed to assess the impact of VSP on surgical accuracy, procedure duration, and patient outcomes. The findings revealed that VSP improves surgical accuracy and reduces operative times compared to conventional methods. However, challenges such as higher material costs and occasional inconsistencies in results remain. Despite these challenges, VSP holds significant potential to enhance precision and efficiency in oral surgery.
