Somatic and psychiatric aspects of complications outside the surgical area in orthognathic surgery: A retrospective study of 429 patients.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe explored postoperative non-surgical site complications in orthognathic surgery (OS) and investigated associations between outcome and patient- and surgery-related variables. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis single-centre (Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland) retrospective study included patients ≥18 years undergoing OS between January 2016 and December 2022. Data were manually reviewed from the hospital database. Associations with the outcome were analysed using SPSS software (IBM Corporation, 28.0.0.0).
resultsOf 429 patients, 16 (3.7%) had a non-surgical site complication, and a total of 19 complications were recognized. A potentially life-threatening somatic complication occurred in 0.7% of patients. The most common complication was severe psychiatric morbidity, constituting 37% of all recognized complications. In the univariate and multivariable regression model, preoperative long-term disease (aOR 4.729; 95% CI 1.510-14.812; p=.008) and alcohol/substance abuse (p=.027) predicted the outcome independently. No other evaluated variables were associated with the outcome.
conclusionsThe results suggest that severe general complications are rare and are associated with patients' long-term diseases. Severe psychiatric complications comprised a significant proportion of all recognized complications. Attention should be paid to patients' somatic and psychiatric status at all stages of treatment.
