Retreatment using temporary anchorage device for a patient with relapse after orthognathic surgery: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Introduction: Recently, orthodontic treatment using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) has advanced and developed to correct more severe occlusal and dentofacial discrepancies. The aim of this article is to use an innovative method using TADs for total mandibular arch distalization to establish the functional occlusion after relapse of orthognathic surgery. Case presentation: The patient was a 22-year-old man with a chief complaint of mandibular protrusion at the first visit. The diagnosis was skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion accompanied by retrusive maxilla and protrusive mandible. The crossbite and concave facial profile could be improved with the appropriate amount of mandibular set-back by mean of Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO). However, occlusal relapse showing negative overjet was found 3 months after surgery. After TADs placed in the ramus, total mandibular arch distalization has started using them. Six months later, appropriate overjet and functional occlusion could be established and gained. Their course has been uneventful for 3 years since then. Clinical discussion: This retreatment could achieve the efficient results with maintained adjacent teeth positioning with less patient compliance. As a result, the mandibular anterior teeth were retracted about 3.0 mm with lingual inclinations. This technique for relapse in orthognathic surgery is rare in the literatures. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment using TADs is easy to access and effective approach for the patients with for relapse in orthognathic surgery.
