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
backgroundMinimal invasive surgical procedures are popularized in various surgical fields, the utilization of endoscopic assisted techniques continues to grow across in the field of Maxillofacial Surgery. Orthognathic surgery is a commonly employed procedure for skeletal deformities. Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy(BSSO) is a versatile, result oriented procedure and its utility are well documented. The main pitfall is injury to the neurovascular bundle. Although various methods and modified instrumentation are advocated to minimize the injury to IAN. PURPOSE: The primary objective is to study the efficacy of innovative endoscopic assisted procedure for locating the nerve and preventing its injury during the BSSO. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: This initial prospective study involving 10 patients undergoing BSSO ( advancement / setback) has explored the role of endoscopic assisted to precisely identify and safeguard the nerve during osteotomy cuts, identification and releasing of IAN while splitting the proximal and distal fragments of BSSO. RESULTS AND
conclusionIntegration of the endoscopy in BSSO protocols showed more than 50% reduction in injury to Neurovascular bundle and offers a promising advancement for achieving favourable results.
