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

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy, is a rare condition characterized by unilateral degeneration of facial tissues. This case report details the anesthetic management of a 16-year-old female with PRS scheduled for elective dental surgery. The patient's facial asymmetry and restricted mouth opening posed significant challenges for airway access, necessitating a customized anesthetic plan. Despite difficulties with visualization and nasal intubation due to anatomical limitations, the airway was successfully managed using video laryngoscopy and blind nasal intubation. The procedure proceeded without complications, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. This case highlights the importance of individualized planning in patients with complex craniofacial abnormalities.
