Minimally Invasive Approaches in Orthognathic Surgery: A Narrative Review of Contemporary Techniques and their Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Maxillofacial surgery has evolved significantly, particularly in orthognathic procedures, shifting from invasive methods to minimally invasive techniques (MITs). Innovations, like 3D imaging, computer-aided simulations, piezoelectric surgery, and endoscopic assistance, have revolutionized patient care. These methods notably reduce bleeding, scarring, hospital stays, and recovery time, while enhancing surgical precision and outcomes. Our review focuses on modern MITs, including endoscopically assisted maxillomandibular advancement (EAMMA) and CAD/CAM technology. We conducted a thorough literature search, identifying 21 relevant articles from an initial pool of 423. The review evaluates the efficacy, complication rates, and long-term stability of these techniques, addressing challenges and future prospects. Emphasizing the significance of MI methods in orthognathic surgery, it advocates for further research and clinical adoption.
