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

background/purposeGenioplasty were used widely to correct chin deformities. The purpose of this study was to design and manufacture a dental-supported surgical guide for genioplasty surgery and assess for surgical accuracy. MATERIALS AND

methodseleven patients with chin deformities were treated in this study. The computed tomography (CT) data of the patient's skull and the digital dental models of stone dental models were acquired preoperatively. For each patient, a virtual three-dimensional (3D) model of the skull was constructed and enhanced with digital dental models. A surgical simulation was then performed using computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) technology based on clinical examination and 3D cephalometry. The surgery was simulated preoperatively which allowed the design of a cutting guide and a dental-supported repositioning guide for genioplasty, which was then 3D-printed and used during operation after disinfection. After surgery, the outcome was evaluated by superimposing the postoperative CT model onto the preoperative model, recording the linear and angular deviation of landmarks and plane, then measuring the differences between the planned and actual outcomes.

resultsThe osteotomy and repositioning were successfully performed as planned using surgical guides. No inferior alveolar nerve damage was seen in this study. The dental-supported surgical guide showed excellent accuracy, with the largest differences between the planned and the postoperative chin segment being 0.9 mm and 3.2°.

conclusionThe dental-supported surgical guide designed preoperatively provided a reliable method of transfer genioplasty planning. This can assist surgeons in accurately performing osteotomy and repositioning bone segments during a genioplasty.
