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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of mandibular head morphology and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMDs) on the deviation side (DS) and non-deviation side (NDS) in patients with facial asymmetry (FA).
methodsThirty patients diagnosed with FA were enrolled. Preoperative and postoperative joint sound and pain were evaluated in terms of clinical symptoms, and pre- and postoperative mandibular head morphology factors shown by computed tomography. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging findings were used to evaluate preoperative joint disc position and joint effusion (JE).
resultsThe patients included 12 (40.0%) males and 18 (60.0%) females, with a mean age of 25.8 years. There were no significant differences regarding clinical symptoms between patients affected on the DS and those on the NDS. Preoperatively, the DS group showed a total of 4 joints (13.3%) with mandibular condyle head deformity, while postoperatively those patients had 13 (43.3%) and the NDS group 2 (6.7%), indicating a significant difference for condyle head deformity between patients affected on DS and NDS before and after surgery. The score for JE was 1.1 ± 1.0 in the DS group and 0.6 ± 0.8 in the NDS group, a significant difference (P < 0.05).
conclusionAs compared to the NDS, the DS in the present class III patients with FA showed a greater number of TMDs, such as condyle head deformity, disc displacement, and JE. It's important for surgeons and orthodontists to be aware of the possibility of TMDs on the DS in class III patients with FA when performing orthognathic surgery.
