Systematic Dietary Interventions to Minimize Postoperative Weight Loss Following Orthognathic Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research. 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
Objectives: This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess whether structured dietary interventions, implemented both before and after orthognathic surgery, could minimize postoperative weight loss during the first eight weeks. Material and Methods: The study was conducted between April 2017 and April 2022, involving patients undergoing singleor bimaxillary surgery. Participants were randomly allocated into three groups: intervention 1 (nutritional tube feeding), intervention 2 (oral intake nutritional supplements), and control (standard care). Body composition was assessed using a body composition analyser (Tanita BC-418) at five time points: presurgery examination, admission, and follow-ups weeks 1, 3, and 8. Primary outcome was weight; secondary - BMI, fat mass, fat-free mass, total body water, and visceral fat rating. Compliance was assessed from patient questionnaires and hospitalization records based on adherence to the prescribed nutritional intake before and after surgery. Results: In total 150 patients were included, without statistically significant differences in age (28.6 [SD 10.4] years, P = 0.7) and BMI (24.9 [SD 5.6], P = 0.72). All groups experienced significant weight loss postoperatively (week 1: P < 0.001; week 3: P < 0.001; week 8: P < 0.001), with control showing slightly greater loss at week 8 (-3.03 kg vs. -2.18 and -2.67 kg; P = 0.11). Compliance during hospitalization was higher in intervention 1 (71.8%) than intervention 2 (55.1%; P = 0.02). No significant differences were found in body mass index or body composition changes. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant effect of systematic dietary interventions
