Precise management of thick skin flaps after mandibular fibula muscle flap transplantation and implant restoration: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Implant-supported restorations are critical for rehabilitating jawbone defects and restoring patients' occlusal function. Achieving proper fit and occlusal relationship with opposing teeth, as well as establishing a healthy peri-implant soft tissue seal, is essential to prevent infection and promote maintainability. This article presents a case involving the precise management of a thick soft tissue flap and the placement of an implant-supported restoration following mandibular reconstruction with a fibula flap. It offers a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic approach, surgical procedures, and prognostic outcomes, with the aim of providing valuable insights for clinical practice. The review spans the entire treatment process-from the planning of Stage I implant surgery, including optimal implant positioning and type selection, to the intraoperative techniques for layered debulking and flap preconditioning. It further discusses the evaluation of soft tissue thickness and the application of a customized healing abutment during Stage II surgery, as well as strategies for long-term oral hygiene maintenance.
