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

purposeThe aim was to assess skeletal stability after maxillary advancement using either distraction osteogenesis (DO) or conventional Le Fort I osteotomy (CO) in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) or cleft palate (CP) utilising a new superimposition-based cephalometric method.

methodThis retrospective study included patients who were treated with DO (N = 12) or CO (N = 9). Sagittal and vertical changes after surgery, and skeletal stability at 18 months post-operatively were assessed with superimposition-based cephalometry, comparing lateral cephalograms performed pre-operatively (T0), post-operatively after CO or immediately after completed distraction in DO (T1), and at 18 months of follow-up (T2).

resultsThe mean sagittal movements from T0 to T2 in the DO and CO groups were 5.9 mm and 2.2 mm, respectively, with a skeletal relapse rate of 16% in the DO group and 15% in the CO group between T1 and T2. The vertical mean movement from T0 to T2 in the DO and CO groups was 2.8 mm and 2.0 mm, respectively, and the skeletal relapse rate between T1 and T2 was 36% in the DO group and 32% in the CO group.

conclusionSagittal advancement of the maxilla was stable, in contrast to the vertical downward movement, which showed more-extensive relapse in both groups. Despite more-extensive maxillary advancement in the DO group, the rates of skeletal relapse were similar.
