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

Background: Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a genetic disease characterized by important developmental changes, among which craniofacial abnormalities with negative repercussions on the volume of the upper airways stand out. The treatment of dentofacial deformities associated with TRS in adulthood includes orthognathic surgery to correct the positioning of the jaws, providing functional benefits such as adequate dental occlusion, stability of mandibular movements and airways expansion. The aim of this report is to present the management of an adult individual with RTS who presented significant craniofacial deformity, severe obstructive sleep apnea and sequelae from previous surgical interventions. Methods: The recommended treatment consisted of performing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery for maxillomandibular advancement, combined with a new total reconstruction of the temporomandibular joints with customized prostheses. Results: The 3-year postoperative follow-up reveals the functional stability of the therapeutic proposal with substantial improvement in quality of life. Conclusion: The management of changes from Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome stills as a challenge. The orthognathic surgery associated with total reconstruction of the TMJs with customized prostheses provided correction of skeletal changes in the face of the individual with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome in this case, with evident improvement in chewing and breathing, as well as aesthetic improvement reported by patient.
