Bilateral implant-retained auricular prosthesis for a patient with fire-related missing ears: A case report.
Article in National journal of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Replacing missing ears with implant-retained prostheses, particularly when using a surgical guide, can yield highly satisfactory prosthetic outcomes. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a 28-year-old man with severe facial burns, which resulted in significant cosmetic and psychological challenges. Bilateral implant-retained auricular prostheses were fabricated, and a surgical guide was employed to ensure predictable implant placement and accurate prosthesis positioning. This approach not only addressed the physical deformities but also alleviated the associated psychological distress. The use of osseointegrated implants for auricular prosthesis retention proved to be a predictable and effective treatment modality, enabling the patient to reintegrate into society. This case highlights the clinical significance of combining reconstructive techniques with prosthetic solutions to improve both physical appearance and self-perception, ultimately enhancing the patient's quality of life.
