1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the stability of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and contralateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) surgery with resorbable fixation. Patients and Methods: A total of 16 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery using SSRO with contralateral IVRO approach and resorbable fixation for the treatment of facial asymmetry at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Gangneung-Wonju National University Dental Hospital from 2003 to 2023 were included. Lateral cephalogram images that were taken at the time point of preoperative (T0), immediately postoperative (T1) and one year after surgery (T2) were measured. The B point position changes were statistically analyzed. Results: The sella-nasion-B point (SNB) angle and vertical reference line to B point (VRL-B) value showed significant differences between T0 and T1 ( Conclusion: In the present study, the combined SSRO with contralateral IVRO approach appears to offer reliable postoperative stability in asymmetric mandibular setback.
