Multi-disciplinary treatment of maxillofacial skeletal deformities by orthognathic surgery combined with periodontal phenotype modification: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundMaxillofacial deformities are skeletal discrepancies that cause occlusal, functional, and esthetic problems, and are managed by multi-disciplinary treatment, including careful orthodontic, surgical, and periodontal evaluations. However, thin periodontal phenotype is often overlooked although it affects the therapeutic outcome. Gingival augmentation and periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) can effectively modify the periodontal phenotype and improve treatment outcome. We describe the multi-disciplinary approaches used to manage a case of skeletal Class III malocclusion and facial asymmetry, with thin periodontal phenotype limiting the correction of deformity. CASE SUMMARY: A patient with facial asymmetry and weakness in chewing had been treated with orthodontic camouflage, but the treatment outcome was not satisfactory. After examination, gingiva augmentation and PAOO were performed to increase the volume of both the gingiva and the alveolar bone to allow further tooth movement. After orthodontic decompensation, double-jaw surgery was performed to reposition the maxilla-mandibular complex. Finally, implant placement and chin molding were performed to restore the dentition and to improve the skeletal profile. The appearance and function were significantly improved, and the periodontal tissue remained healthy and stable.
conclusionIn patients with dentofacial deformities and a thin periodontal phenotype, multi-disciplinary treatment that includes PAOO could be effective, and could improve both the quality and safety of orthodontic-orthognathic therapy.
