Reliability of 3D Stereophotogrammetry for Measuring Postoperative Facial Swelling.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the reliability of three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry as a measurement instrument for evaluating soft tissue changes in the head and neck area. Twelve patients received a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Test and retest 3D photographs were captured within the first three postoperative weeks, and a reference 3D photograph was capture at three months postoperatively. Distance measurements, mean and root mean square of the distance map, and volume differences were obtained. Reliability of these parameters was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), standard error of measurement (SEM), and smallest detectable change (SDC). All distance measurements had an ICC > 0.91, and the distance map parameters and volume differences showed ICCs > 0.89. The neck region presented the largest SEMs (5.09 mL) and SDC (14.1 mL) for the volume difference. In conclusion, 3D stereophotogrammetry is reliable for distance and volume measurements of soft tissues in patients after a BSSO advancement.
