Effects of Prediabetes on Bone Metabolism and Healing in Orthognathic Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 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
Abstract: Prediabetes, defined by impaired glucose regulation, is an increasingly prevalent metabolic disorder with implications beyond glycemic control. Its impact on bone remodeling and healing is gaining attention, particularly in orthognathic surgery. This narrative review aimed to map the current evidence regarding the impact of prediabetes on bone healing, metabolic markers, and surgical outcomes in orthognathic surgery. A comprehensive literature search was performed (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) up to January 2025, yielding 32 eligible studies. Emerging data suggest that prediabetes may influence bone homeostasis through insulin resistance, low-grade chronic inflammation, and the accumulation of advanced glycation end products. These changes may attenuate the systemic acceleratory phenomenon observed after surgical trauma, potentially delaying bone healing. However, current evidence is limited by significant assay heterogeneity, varying temporal sampling windows, and a lack of prospective surgical trials. While not as severe as overt diabetes, prediabetes constitutes an underrecognized but important risk factor in the perioperative management of orthognathic surgery patients. Future research should prioritize standardized prospective trials to establish evidence-based guidelines.
