Stability of anterior tooth alignment 10 years out of retention.
Article in Journal of orofacial orthopedics = Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie : Organ/official journal Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kieferorthopadie, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04389879 (CAD/CAM Fixed Retainers vs. Conventional Multistranded Fixed Retainers in Orthodontic Patients.

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.

Abstract
objectiveLong-term posttreatment stability of anterior tooth alignment is of major interest to both patients and orthodontists. In the present study we examined the long-term outcome 10 years postretention and investigated the possible influence of treatment-related factors on posttreatment stability of maxillary and mandibular anterior tooth alignment.
methodsThe sample comprised 51 patients treated with full fixed appliances in a university clinic. Average retention time was 1.8 years. All patients received a Hawley appliance in the maxilla and a bonded canine-to-canine retainer in the mandible. The Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) Index, Little's Irregularity Index (LII) and dental cast variables were recorded at pretreatment, posttreatment and 10 years out of retention. Stability of occlusion was assessed with the PAR score percentage improvement method. For each jaw a multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify the influence of treatment-related factors on postretention tooth alignment.
resultsThe PAR Index percentage improvement decreased from 73.1% posttreatment to 53.5% 10 years out of retention. For both jaws posttreatment increase in anterior irregularity was significantly correlated with the degree of treatment correction. The strongest association was found in the maxilla. Premolar extractions were associated with increased stability of mandibular alignment.
conclusionsThe need for retention appears to increase with the degree of alignment correction, particularly in the maxilla. Extraction of premolars significantly improved long-term stability of mandibular incisor alignment.
