Congenital syngnathia: a case report of osseous fusion between the maxilla and mandible.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. 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
Congenital fusion of the maxilla and mandible is an extremely rare craniofacial anomaly that can present at birth with trismus and feeding difficulties. We report a case of a neonate with right-sided osseous fusion between the maxilla and mandibular body, initially unrecognized at multiple centers. The patient developed severe hyperbilirubinemia and dehydration due to impaired feeding. Computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction confirmed the diagnosis and revealed no involvement of the temporomandibular joint or tooth buds. Ultrasonic osteotomy was used to resect the fusion, restoring partial mouth opening and enabling enteral feeding. This case emphasizes the importance of early imaging for accurate diagnosis and timely multidisciplinary intervention. Prompt recognition and surgical correction can improve oral function and help prevent potential neurologic complications, highlighting a critical diagnostic and therapeutic pathway for this rare but manageable condition.
