Long-Term Follow-Up of Orthognathic Surgery in 19 Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

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
Objectives: Dentofacial deformity following juvenile idiopathic arthritis with temporomandibular joint involvement is associated with functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial impairment. Surgical treatment may involve combinations of orthognathic surgery. The aims of this retrospective study were to assess orofacial symptoms, functional and aesthetic status, and stability after orthognathic surgery. Material and Methods: Nineteen patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and dentofacial deformities were included. All patients were treated with combinations of bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, Le Fort I and/or genioplasty, between September 10, 2007 and October 17, 2017. Analysis of patient symptoms and clinical registrations, and frontal/lateral cephalograms was performed pre- and postoperative and long-term (mean: 3.8 and 2.6 years, respectively). Results: Patients experienced no changes in orofacial symptoms or TMJ function, and stable normalisation of horizontal and vertical incisal relations at long-term (horizontal overbite; vertical overbite: P < 0.05). Mandibular lengthening was achieved postoperatively (from mean 79.7 to 87.2 mm; P = 0.004) and was stable. Sella-nasion to A point (SNA) and sella-nasion to B point (SNB) angles increased postoperatively (SNA, mean 79.9° to 82.8°; P = 0.022 and SNB, mean 73.9° to 77.8°; P = 0.003), however, largely reverted to preoperative status at long-term. Conclusions: Orthognathic surgery normalized incisal relations while providing stable mandibular lengthening without long-term deterioration of temporomandibular joint function or orofacial symptoms. No long-term effect on jaw advancements was observed.
