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
Introduction: Documenting orientation of resection specimens in head and neck surgery can be challenging. Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to investigate an enhanced documentation method for orientation of the resection specimen. Methods: A feasibility study was conducted to explore the potential of using a 3D scanner to improve documentation of the orientation of the resection specimen. 3D scans of the resection specimen were registered on a CT-based 3D model of the patient's original anatomy, resulting in 3D models of the resection specimen in the correct anatomical position and orientation. Results: The scanning, orientation, and verification processes are explained in detail. Conclusion: This innovative approach for documenting the orientation of resection specimens can improve the understanding of precise anatomical locations of close or positive margins. This understanding is crucial for determining the necessity and precise location of adjuvant therapy, minimising adverse effects and lowering the risk of local recurrence.
