Neurosensory Disturbances and Recovery Patterns in Orthognathic Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis of 579 Cases From a Tertiary Referral Center.

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
Background Le Fort I osteotomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) are the most commonly performed procedures for correcting skeletal jaw deformities. Despite improved safety, neurosensory disturbances remain a significant postoperative complication. Comprehensive quantitative assessment of sensory recovery and identification of risk factors are essential for optimizing patient counseling and surgical planning. Methods A total of 579 cases with a complete six-month follow-up were analyzed from 642 consecutive orthognathic surgeries performed between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2025 at the Tokyo Dental College Ichikawa General Hospital. Neurosensory function was assessed using Semmes-Weinstein (SW) monofilament testing at one week and at one, two, three, and six months postoperatively. Normal sensation was defined as the detection of SW 1.65 monofilament, and severe hypoesthesia as failure to detect SW 4.56 or higher. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and multivariate logistic regression. Results Intraoperative complication rates were 0.4% in the Le Fort I group (n=225) and 2.5% in the SSRO group (n=354). Postoperatively, infraorbital nerve paresthesia occurred in 36/225 cases (16.0%), while inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia occurred in 139/354 left sides (39.3%) and 112/354 right sides (31.6%). Six-month neurosensory recovery rates were 94.4% in the Le Fort I group and 92.9% in the SSRO group, with >85% of recoveries occurring within the first three months. Mandibular advancement of ≥5 mm was the most significant independent risk factor for bilateral inferior alveolar nerve disturbance (left:
