An overview of surgery-first orthognathic approach: History, indications and limitations, protocols, and dentoskeletal stability.
Review in Dental research journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07477873 (Evaluation of Emotional Responses Using the I-Motions System and Self-assessment Questionnaires, and Assessment of Postoperative Anatomical and Structural Units), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
The most common orthognathic surgery approach consists of three steps: presurgical orthodontic treatment, surgery, and postsurgical orthodontic treatment. Despite its advantages, this technique has some disadvantages, too, including a long treatment period, problems in mastication and articulation, temporary worsening of the patient's appearance, and psychological problems for the patient. The introduction of the surgery-first orthognathic approach has been an attempt to overcome these problems. In this article, we wish to provide a comprehensive overview on this approach. In this approach, which consists of surgery without orthodontic preparation and a short period of orthodontic treatment after it, the overall duration of treatment decreases and the patient's appearance improves. The skeletal anchorage, placed at the time of surgery, can be used to facilitate tooth movements after surgery. Despite the advantages of this technique, it is associated with some limitations; in particular, occlusion cannot have a guiding role during surgery. Therefore, correct diagnosis, prediction of the outcomes, and simulating correction with the model setup are of crucial importance. The surgeon's knowledge and expertise have a significant role in this respect.
