Spontaneous Zygomatic Remodelling after Coronoidectomy in Coronoid Process Hyperplasia and Jacob's Disease - A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Annals 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
Rationale: Jacob's disease associated with true coronoid hyperplasia (CH) is a rare condition characterized by a pseudo-joint between the coronoid process and the zygomatic arch. Malar asymmetry resulting from zygomatic bone deformation has been reported, but long-term morphological outcomes are seldom documented. Patient Concerns: A 13-year-old boy presented with progressive restriction of maximal incisal opening (MIO) of 20 mm and zygomatic asymmetry. Diagnosis: Computed tomography (CT) scan and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Jacob's disease with CH. Treatment: An intraoral coronoidectomy was performed, followed by a structured program of jaw-stretching exercises. Outcomes: The patient achieved a sustained improvement in MIO. A CT scan at 17 months showed spontaneous zygoma remodeling with resolution of facial asymmetry. Take-away Lessons: Coronoidectomy with physical therapy can restore MIO effectively. This is the first report of spontaneous correction of zygomatic asymmetry, suggesting the appropriateness of an expectant attitude in this clinical scenario.
