Imaging Evaluation for Jaw Deformities: Diagnostic Workup and Pre-Treatment Imaging Checklist for Orthognathic Surgery.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
In addition to standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs, comprehensive assessment using dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and CT has become commonplace in the diagnosis and treatment of jaw deformities. Simulation based on cephalometric and CT data is particularly useful in the management of jaw deformities, both for evaluation and prognostic prediction. As such imaging examinations cover a wide anatomical region, it is not uncommon for various incidental pathologies to be discovered. This review emphasizes the necessity of evaluating the entire imaged area in addition to the chief complaint. Furthermore, it outlines the essential anatomical structures that should be assessed during diagnostic imaging performed prior to representative surgical procedures for jaw deformities (e.g., sagittal split ramus osteotomy and Le Fort I osteotomy). This review paper is descriptive in nature, incorporating our facility's empirical aspects, and presents representative cases in a narrative format; it is not a systematic review. In other word, as the evidence-based literature does not cover all aspects of pretreatment evaluation, these criteria are based on the past experience of the authors.
