Osseous Genioplasty and Its Impact on Airway Volume-What is the Evidence?
Review in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Osseous genioplasty (OG) improves facial aesthetics by 3-dimensionally repositioning the chin and associated soft tissues. Although its effects on airway volumes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have been investigated, the available evidence remains limited. The authors of this study performed a systematic review using the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and EMBASE through January 2025. Studies assessing the impact of OG on airway volumes and/or OSA metrics were included. Data on chin advancements, hyoid movements, and related outcomes were extracted. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Chin advancement ranged from 4 to 12.5 mm (mean: 7.3 mm), and hyoid advancement ranged from 2.17 to 10 mm (mean: 5.6 mm). Six studies assessed airway changes, with most reporting increases in airway size. Among those, 3 studies quantified volumetric changes. On average, total airway volume increased by 8.5%, with initial volumes averaging 17,956.5 mm
