Accuracy of 3D Virtual Surgical Planning Compared to the Traditional Two-Dimensional Method in Orthognathic Surgery: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
With the innovation of three-dimensional imaging and printing techniques, computer-aided surgical planning, also known as virtual surgical planning (VSP), has revolutionized orthognathic surgery. Designing and manufacturing patient-specific surgical guides using three-dimensional printing techniques to improve surgical outcomes is now possible. This article presents an overview of VSP in orthognathic surgery and discusses the advantages and accuracy of this technique compared to traditional surgical planning (TSP). A PubMed and Google Scholar search was conducted to find relevant articles published over the past 10 years. The search revealed 2,581 articles, of which 36 full-text articles specifically addressed the topic of this study. The review concludes that VSP in orthognathic surgery provides optimal functional and aesthetic results, enhances patient satisfaction, ensures precise translation of the treatment plan, and facilitates intraoperative manipulation.
