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

(1) The aim of the present study was to compare the outcome of facial symmetry after simultaneous digitally planned patient-specific implant (PSI-) based orthognathic surgery and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) bone augmentation in patients with craniofacial malformations. (2) To evaluate the outcome of the two different surgical approaches (conventional PSI-based orthognathic surgery versus simultaneous PSI-based orthognathic surgery with PEEK bone augmentation), a comparison of five different groups with a combination of the parameters (A) with vs. without laterognathia, (B) syndromic vs. non-syndromic, and (C) surgery with vs. without PEEK bone augmentation was conducted. The digital workflow comprised cone beam CT (CBCT) scans and virtual surgery planning for all patients in order to produce patient specific cutting guides and osteosynthesis plates. Additionally, deformed skulls were superimposed by a non-deformed skull and/or the healthy side was mirrored to produce PSI PEEK implants for augmentation. Retrospective analyses included posterior-anterior conventional radiographs as well as en face photographs taken before and nine months after surgery. (3) Simultaneous orthognathic surgery with PEEK bone augmentation significantly improves facial symmetry compared to conventional orthognathic surgery (6.5%P (3.2-9.8%P) (
