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

Facial asymmetry is a common sequela of condylar osteoma and has a significant impact on patient's quality of life. In some cases, sole resection of the tumor and surrounding structures is insufficient to restore maxillofacial harmony, and incorporating additional surgical procedures, such as orthognathic surgery, might provide a more comprehensive solution. This paper reports the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented with pain on biting on the right side, accompanied by swelling over the right periauricular region. Clinical examination revealed facial asymmetry with a chin shift to the left, limited mouth opening, a right posterior open bite, and canting of the occlusal plane. The simultaneous performance of condylar osteoma resection and orthognathic surgery, supported by virtual surgical planning, provided a comprehensive surgical approach to address the patient's condition while reducing overall treatment and recovery times by avoiding the need to perform these two procedures separately.
