Proportional Condylectomy Using a Titanium 3D-Printed Cutting Guide in Patients with Condylar Hyperplasia.
Article in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe purpose of the study was to describe proportional condylectomy in patients with condylar hyperplasia using a titanium 3D-printed ultrathin wire mesh cutting guide placed below the planned bone resection.
methodsEight patients with condylar hyperplasia underwent proportional condylectomy using an ultrathin titanium 3D-printed cutting guide placed below the planned bone resection. The placement of the guide was facilitated by the incorporation of anatomical landmarks. The accuracy of bone resections guided by such devices was evaluated on postoperative radiographs. The mean postoperative follow-up was 30 months.
resultsSurgery could be performed in all patients in the same manner as virtually planned. The fitting accuracy of the cutting guides was judged as good. Postoperative radiographs revealed that the virtually planned shape of the newly formed condylar head after condylectomy could be achieved.
conclusionsIn conclusion, the use of virtual computer-assisted planning and CAD/CAM-based cutting guides for proportional condylectomy in unilateral condylar hyperplasia of the mandible offers high accuracy and guarantees very predictable results.
