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

introductionOrthognathic surgery, a well-established procedure for correcting significant skeletal imbalances, addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns. Traditionally, fixed orthodontic appliances have been preferred due to their effectiveness in managing dental movements and ensuring postoperative stability. However, the increasing demand for more aesthetic and comfortable options has led to the growing use of clear aligners, even in complex surgical cases. Although aligners present some limitations, such as reduced control over certain dental movements and the need for greater patient compliance, they offer notable advantages in terms of comfort and aesthetics. Similar to fixed appliances, the successful integration of aligners with orthognathic surgery requires meticulous planning and close coordination between the orthodontist and surgeon.

objectiveThis article provides detailed guidelines for professionals on planning and executing orthodontic-surgical treatments using clear aligners, covering both conventional and surgery-first approaches. Clinical examples will illustrate the aesthetic and functional benefits, as well as key technical challenges in daily practice.
