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

objectivesThis study evaluated bone healing in the maxillary anterior wall after Le Fort I osteotomy using a new cotton-like bone graft substitute (Rebossis MATERIALS AND

methodsThe anterior bony gap between maxillary segments was covered with Rebossis

resultsThe study included 40 patients (80 sides) who underwent Le Fort I and mandibular osteotomies. Absorbable plates and screws were used to fix the maxillary segments in all cases. Cases were divided into a Rebossis
