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

objectivesTo develop a systematic review of patient perspectives on the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) after undergoing orthognathic advancement surgery. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis systematic review adhered to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, and Patient, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) methodology was employed to formulate the research question. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Cochrane Library (Trials), PubMed via MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science (all databases). The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess quality of the studies.

resultsInitially, 1407 articles were retrieved from diverse databases, and these were subjected to initial scrutiny. Subsequently, 17 articles were selected for thorough quality analysis and 6 studies for quantitative analysis. Most studies were classified as good quality. Maxillomandibular advancement surgery appeared to enhance patient satisfaction in cases of moderate to severe adult OSAS.

conclusionsMaxillomandibular advancement surgery significantly improves patients' subjective overall quality of life, improving by 6.36 points in questionnaire ratings and demonstrating long-term stability.
