Orthognathic surgery improves quality of life: a survey clinical study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of patients with dentofacial deformity (n = 107) compared with that of healthy individuals (n = 108) from 2019 to 2020.
methodsOral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) were administered to the individuals before surgery (T1) and 6 months after surgery (T2).
resultsPreoperative scores (T1) were greater in the surgical group than in the control group in all domains of both surveys (p ≤ 0.001). Postoperative scores (T2) in the surgery group decreased significantly after surgery in all domains in both surveys (p < 0.001). The OHIP-14 scores in the control group at T2 were significantly greater than those in the other domains except for functional limitation at T1. The type of surgery had no effect on quality of life. Class III patients had higher preoperative scores in certain domains. Postoperative physical disability (p = 0.037), physical pain (p = 0.047), and preoperative social disability (p = 0.030) scores of OHIP-14 awareness of dentofacial aesthetics of OQLQ (p = 0.019) were found to be higher in females than in males.
conclusionsThe results showed that orthognathic surgery positively affected quality of life. The control group showed differences in T1 and T2 scores, which can be attributed to their psychological status.
