Measuring patient-reported outcomes in orthognathic surgery: Linguistic and psychometric validation of the Mandarin Chinese version of FACE-Q instrument.
Article in Biomedical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOrthognathic surgery is useful for correction of dental malocclusion and improvement of facial appearance. The FACE-Q is a patient-reported outcome instrument for evaluation of surgical and psychosocial effect. The purposes of this study were to conduct a linguistic validation of all FACE-Q scales to Mandarin Chinese, to test the orthognathic surgery-related scales for reliability and validity, and to evaluate the effect of orthognathic surgery.
methodsAll FACE-Q scales and checklists were translated from English to Mandarin Chinese according to international recommendations: forward translations, backward translation, and cognitive interviews. Psychometric testing of orthognathic surgery-related scales of translated version was administered to patients with facial deformities and history of orthognathic surgery (n = 53; 17 scales) or no history of orthognathic surgery (n = 44; 11 scales), and control subjects (n = 57; 11 scales).
resultsAll FACE-Q scales and checklists were linguistically validated into Mandarin Chinese. The contents were confirmed valid among Mandarin Chinese-speaking population. The FACE-Q scales had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha >0.70) and discriminated (p < 0.05) well between patients before and after orthognathic surgeries and normal subjects.
conclusionsThis study discovered significant benefit of orthognathic surgery on improving facial appearance and psychosocial function, as compared with the non-surgical patients and normal controls.
