Computer-Guided Biopsy of Osteosclerotic Jaw Lesion Using 3D-Printed Surgical Guides: A Fully Digital Workflow.
Article in The Journal of craniofacial 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
Osteosclerotic jaw lesions, often incidentally detected on routine radiographs, are rarely biopsied due to their benign appearance and proximity to delicate anatomic structures. This case report presents a fully digital workflow for guided biopsy of a deep mandibular osteosclerotic lesion, integrating artificial intelligence-based segmentation, intraoral scanning, CAD design, and 3D printing of surgical templates. A 3D-printed guide with depth-control stops was used to safely and precisely position trephine burs between the roots of tooth 4.6 and the mandibular canal. The approach allowed accurate tissue sampling for histopathologic diagnosis (osteoma), minimizing invasiveness and risk to adjacent structures. Postoperative CBCT confirmed the accuracy of the biopsy, with deviations of 0.6 mm (linear), 4 degrees (angular), and -0.2 mm (depth). This technique demonstrates the potential of artificial intellingence-assisted digital planning and 3D printing to enhance biopsy precision for intraosseous lesions.
