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

Orthognathic surgery is a widely used treatment method for the correction of skeletal anomalies between the maxilla and mandible. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different surgical approaches (conventional orthognathic surgery [COS] and surgery first approach [SFA]) on soft tissue and facial aesthetics in adult class III malocclusion patients. A total of 50 patients were examined in two groups: 28 individuals in the COS group and 22 individuals in the SFA group. Frontal and profile photographs were taken and analyzed before (T0) and after (T1) surgery for both groups. 12 linear measurements were made in the frontal photographs, and 2 linear and 2 angular measurements were made in the profile photographs. The results showed that the treatment period in the SFA group was significantly shorter than in the COS group (p < .01). In addition, soft tissue facial angle was found to be significantly higher in the SFA group (p < .01). In the COS group, a significant decrease in the nasolabial angle and a significant increase in the E-line were recorded (p < .01). Soft tissue analysis performed on photographs can be considered as an effective tool in surgical planning. The results indicate that similar outcomes were observed in the COS and SFA groups post-surgery. These findings provide an important perspective in evaluating the effects of different orthognathic surgery methods on soft tissue and facial aesthetics.
