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

Purpose: This study evaluated changes in patient-reported functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial outcomes before and after orthognathic surgery and assessed overall satisfaction among patients treated in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery at Dammam Medical Complex, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through structured telephone interviews using a questionnaire adapted from previously published instruments and translated into Arabic. Paired multi-category outcomes were analyzed using the Stuart-Maxwell test, paired binary outcomes using the McNemar test, and p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The sample included 53 females and 47 males, with a mean age of 29.4 ± 5.9 years. Most participants (70%) expected improvement in both aesthetics and chewing function. Overall, 65% reported postoperative improvement in both domains. Significant favorable changes were observed in chewing ability, nasal breathing, facial profile, frontal facial appearance, and smile (all p < 0.001). Self-confidence increased from 50% to 87% (p < 0.001), and 95% said they would recommend surgery to others. Conclusion: Orthognathic surgery was associated with high patient-reported satisfaction and favorable functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial outcomes in this sample from the Eastern Province.
