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 research evaluates the clinical efficacy of orthognathic surgery as a therapeutic intervention for moderate-to-severe OSA. Methods: This prospective research included 40 patients diagnosed with OSA through polysomnography. Patients underwent "maxillomandibular advancement (MMA)" surgery, and outcomes were assessed using polysomnographic parameters, "Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)," and patient satisfaction over a 12-month follow-up. Results: Postoperative analysis revealed significant reductions in "apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)" and ESS scores. The mean AHI decreased from 35.2 ± 5.8 events/hour preoperatively to 8.4 ± 3.2 events/hour postoperatively ( Conclusions: Orthognathic surgery, particularly MMA, demonstrates a substantial improvement in OSA severity and quality of life, supporting its role as a definitive treatment modality.
