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
backgroundThe intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) is a surgical technique for prognathic or asymmetric mandible. We wanted to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the three-dimensional (3D) remodeling pattern of the mandibular ramus one year after IVRO.
methodsWe reconstructed 3D mandibular models using 3D CT data from 108 IVRO hemi-mandibles of 54 subjects. The immediate postoperative (Imm) proximal and distal segments were separated and individually superimposed to one-year postoperative (Post) mandible by employing a direct segmental-isolated marrow superimposition.
resultsAnalysis showed extensive regional bone resorption and apposition resulting in a remodeled Post ramus; the more overlapping patterns of group of A (lateral type) and B (lateral/proximal type) suffered resorption-dominant remodeling compared with the less-overlapped group C (proximal type) and D (gap type), while the level of apposition was similar for all groups. Post ramus showed different levels of sigmoid notch filling with newly-formed bones and various shapes of new bony projections at the posterior border of the medial ramus. Bone resorption in group A was significantly and negatively correlated with protrusion delta (the difference between the postoperative and preoperative protrusive mandibular movement ranges), and bone apposition was positive with amount of postoperative maximum opening.
conclusionAll results indicate dynamic remodeling of the Imm ramus after IVRO in relation to the segmental overlapping pattern to form a smooth and continuous skeletal surface. The new superimposition method of direct segmental overlapping could detect the detailed remodeling pattern.
