Comparison of aesthetic outcomes of maxilla-only, mandible-only, and bimaxillary orthognathic surgeries: A retrospective analysis.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background/purpose: Orthognathic surgery addresses craniofacial and occlusal deformities caused by skeletal discrepancies. This study compares the aesthetic outcomes of maxilla-only, mandible-only, and bimaxillary surgeries, focusing on facial angles, proportions, and soft tissue aesthetics. It also identifies parameters most influencing postoperative aesthetics. Materials and methods: Sixty Taiwanese patients (30 males, 30 females) were divided into three groups: maxilla-only, mandible-only, and bimaxillary surgeries (20 patients per group). Pre- and postoperative cephalograms were analyzed using six cephalometric methods. Paired and independent t-tests (P < 0.05) were conducted to evaluate changes and deviations from reference norms. Results: The results of the study showed that maxilla-only surgery could lead to significant improvements in midface aesthetics, especially a notable increase in the nasolabial angle ( Conclusion: Maxilla-only surgery improves midface proportions, while mandible-only surgery enhances lower facial balance. Bimaxillary surgery provides the most comprehensive outcomes. Individualized surgical planning and potential nasal refinements are crucial for optimal results.
