Unilateral cross bite treated by corticotomy-assisted expansion: two case reports.
Article in Head & face medicine, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02574117 (Corticotomy-assisted Slow Maxillary Expansion With Bone Allograft Assessed With Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Young Adults), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTrue unilateral posterior crossbite in adults is a challenging malocclusion to treat. Conventional expansion methods are expected to have some shortcomings. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new technique for treating unilateral posterior crossbite in adults, namely, corticotomy-assisted expansion (CAE) applied on two adult patients: one with a true unilateral crossbite and the other with an asymmetrical bilateral crossbite, both treated via modified corticotomy techniques and fixed orthodontic appliances.
methodsTwo cases with asymmetric maxillary constriction were treated using CAE.
resultsIn both cases, effective asymmetrical expansion was achieved using CAE, and functional occlusion was established as well.
conclusionsUnilateral CAE presents an effective and reliable technique to treat true unilateral crossbite.
