Robot-assisted jaw-in-a-day based on the sandwich approach: case series.
Article in Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 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
backgroundThe "jaw-in-a-day" (JIAD) concept involves integrating the resection of mandibular tumors with mandibular defect repair and immediate implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation into one surgical operation. This approach aims to reduce the overall treatment cycle, with the goal of improving patients' quality of life. However, traditional JIAD frequently employs static surgical guides, which can introduce variability in implant placement accuracy. Robot-assisted surgery has emerged as a promising alternative, with the potential to improve surgical precision through real-time navigation and haptic feedback technology. CASE PRESENTATION: This retrospective case series reported five cases of mandibular tumors treated using the robot-assisted JIAD. Surgical planning involved virtual surgical simulation and computer-aided design/manufacturing based on sandwich planning technology. A robotic surgical system was utilized to prepare the implant site and place the implant under real-time navigation guidance. Immediate provisional prostheses were placed during the same surgery. All robot-assisted JIAD surgeries were performed as planned. The robot-assisted preparation and placement of implant sites yielded a mean angular deviation of 1.17° ± 0.30° and a linear deviation of less than 0.5 mm. Radiographic analysis at six months post-surgery revealed signs consistent with implant stability and osseointegration.
conclusionThe robot-assisted JIAD technique, based on the sandwich planning approach, appears to be a feasible approach that may enhance implant placement accuracy in complex mandibular reconstructions. However, these preliminary findings require further validation in larger, controlled studies.
