The impact of orthognathic surgery on oral function-related quality of life: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis review aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of orthognathic surgery on oral function-related quality of life, analyzed preoperative and postoperative changes and their influencing factors. METHODOLOGY: This study follows the PRISMA guidelines and is registered in PROSPERO with the registration number CRD420250651691. Relevant studies were identified through a search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases, focusing on those that utilized the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) to assess changes in oral function-related quality of life before and after surgery. The JBI quality assessment tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the included studies.
resultsA total of 17 studies were included, and key indicators were extracted and analyzed. Results indicated that while mild deterioration in oral function might occur in the short term following orthognathic surgery, long-term follow-ups demonstrated significant improvements in oral function, particularly in chewing, speech, and taste. No significant association was found between gender and oral function improvement. Age may influence patients' subjective perception of oral function improvement, with older patients reporting more positive perceptions of functional improvements.
conclusionThis systematic review concludes that orthognathic surgery has a positive impact on oral function-related quality of life, providing important evidence for clinical practice and patient rehabilitation guidance. However, further studies on the long-term effects of orthognathic surgery and more diverse research are needed to validate and refine the current conclusions.
