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
purposeThe aim of this retrospective study was to determine orthognathic surgery indicators for Japanese patients with jaw deformities using both Index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Needs (IOFTN) and maxillofacial morphometric analysis. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThe subjects were 89 patients treated with orthognathic surgery and 92 patients treated with orthodontic treatment alone, and were classified as class I, II, or III according to the ANB angle. Based on the results for IOFTN and the results of cephalometric analysis, the indication criteria for orthognathic surgery were examined.
resultsIn IOFTN analysis, none of patients in the orthognathic surgery group were classified as category 1 or 2, while 48% of the patients in the orthodontic treatment group were classified as category 4 or 5. The results of the cephalometric analysis of patients in classified categories 4 and 5 showed that the orthognathic surgery group had significantly greater lateral mandibular deviation in Class I cases, significantly more severe degree of mandibular retrusion in Class II cases, and significantly more severe degree of mandibular prognathism in Class III cases. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that IOFTN was a common variable as an indication criterion for orthognathic surgery, and several different variables were also selected from the cephalometric measurements in each group.
conclusionIOFTN is a highly sensitive and useful indicator as a criterion for orthognathic surgery. However, in the choice of treatment strategy, maxillofacial morphometric analyses and the patient's desired goal are important.
