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

Objective: By combining static and dynamic methods of obtaining natural head position, this study examined whether compensatory head tilt in patients with non-syndromic asymmetric facial deformities contributes to of pseudo-"vertical eye canting". Methodology: Patients with non-syndromic asymmetric facial deformities patients and symmetric dento-maxillofacial deformity who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into observation and control groups. Static photographs were measured to analyze the static head position of the subjects in each follow-up period; dynamic natural head positions of the subjects in different states in each period were recorded by posture sensors for dynamic analysis. Intergroup and intragroup changes were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U-test and one way ANOVA. Results: The static natural head position of the observation group at 1 year after surgery was significantly different from that of the pre-surgery period, whereas each dynamic natural head position at all follow-up periods after surgery was significantly different from dynamic natural head position of the pre-surgery period. The range of dynamic head position in the rolling direction was smaller in the observation group than in the preoperative period at 6 months and 1 year after surgery, but the dynamic head position range in the rolling direction was not significantly different in the control group at the different follow-up stages. Conclusions: Changes in natural head position (NHP) following orthognathic surgery were associated with improved stabilization of head posture in roll orientation and reduced pseudo-eye canting in non-syndromic asymmetric facial deformities (NSAFD) patients.
