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

Sliding genioplasty is an established surgical technique used in orthognathic and facial plastic surgery. It enables the correction of multiple bone discrepancies, such as pro- or retrogenia, as well as asymmetries. Chin narrowing procedures are beneficial in gender-affirming surgery for male-to-female patients, as they provide a more triangular shape to the lower face, which is considered more feminine. However, <10% of transgender patients undergo female-to-male transition where the lower face needs to be more squared, with prominent angles and a strong chin. Moreover, cisgender males are increasingly opting for facial aesthetic surgery to enhance their masculine appearance. This study presents the protocol for lower face masculinization with a modified chin osteotomy that may be used in conjunction with custom mandibular angle implants.
