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
Purpose: This study aimed to utilize functional MRI (fMRI) to assess neural responses to pre- and post-bimaxillary surgery self-images to establish an objective predictor of patient satisfaction with the surgical results. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 16 patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery. Patients' fMRI data were obtained while viewing their self-images before and after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed using SPM12 software to identify changes in neural activation levels. Results: Greater activations were recorded in the right middle frontal gyrus, right superior occipital gyrus/right superior parietal lobule, and right middle occipital gyrus in response to post-surgery images (false discovery rate-corrected Conclusion: Distinct neural activation patterns were observed when viewing preoperative and postoperative self-images, suggesting that fMRI could serve as a potential tool for predicting patient satisfaction with surgical outcomes. The activated brain regions may represent sites of esthetic satisfaction, aligning with patients' self-reported satisfaction levels.
