Effects of palatal crib and bonded spurs in early treatment of anterior open bite: A prospective randomized clinical study.
Trial report in The Angle orthodontist, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05313399 (Skeletal and Dentoalveolar Effects of Palatal Crib Versus Bonded Spurs in Early Treatment of Anterior Open Bite Caused by Non-nutritive Sucking Habits), which is not on this map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the overbite correction of fixed palatal crib (FPC) and bonded lingual spur (BLS) in the early treatment of anterior open bite (AOB) in mixed dentition (primary outcome) as well as its influence on dental and skeletal cephalometric measurements (secondary outcome). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe selected patients had AOB and a mean age of 8.23 years. They were divided into the following three groups by casting lots: control (n = 13), palatal crib (n = 13), and spur (n = 13). Data from the lateral teleradiography was obtained at the beginning, at 6 months, and after 1 year. The cephalometric analysis was performed by Cef-X program, recording the values of SNA, SNB, ANB, SnG oGn, 1.PP, IMPA, nasolabial angle, overbite, and overjet. Intergroup and intragroup comparisons were obtained via one-way analysis of variance.
resultsThe degree of AOB was similar at baseline (P > .05). At 6 months and then after 1 year all groups showed improvement in the overbite. However, only the crib and spur groups showed positive overbite. No cephalometric measurements changed significantly over the period analyzed.
conclusionsWe conclude that the FPC and BLS are simple and effective for the treatment of anterior open bite, with the advantage given to the FPC.
