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
Computer-aided surgical planning has improved functional and aesthetic outcomes in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery. Immediate dental implantation is now being increasingly performed in conjunction with the fibula free flap, with high success rates in maxillomandibular reconstructions. The success of this approach relies on careful patient selection, meticulous surgical planning, and prosthetic implementation. Patient-specific surgical templates for resection, repositioning, and implant placement facilitate this process, allowing successful installation of prefabricated prosthetic dental arches during surgery and ensuring a stable postoperative occlusion. Achieving optimal results is contingent upon collaboration among surgical, prosthodontic, and engineering expertise, particularly in the precise computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing positioning of bone flaps and implants. This article aimed to introduce a workflow for immediate loading of implants in fibula free flap maxillomandibular reconstruction. The use of a patient-specific implant to improve lower facial contour in mandibular reconstructions and an occlusion-based reverse planning is highly recommended to achieve optimal results.
