1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present the case of a 47-year-old male with a post-traumatic facial deformity after electrocution injury and a fall that occurred two years prior to consultation. The patient presented with ectropion on the left, hypoglobus, and step-off deformities on the left malar area owing to the loss of a large portion of the inferior orbital rim, orbital floor, and the zygomatic bone. House-Brackmann IV facial palsy was also present on the left hemiface since the injury. A 3D-printed biocompatible zygomatic implant was fabricated using Polyetheretherketone (PEEK). This case highlights the versatility of PEEK for facial implants and the importance of virtual surgical planning and 3-D printing in the management of post-traumatic facial defects.
