Review in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectiveThe present systemic review was conducted with the main purpose to evaluate the quantitative effects of orthognathic surgeries, extraction versus non-extraction treatment, and the type of malocclusion in the stability of anterior open-bite (AOB) correction over the long-term.

methodsThe systematic search for studies was conducted through MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, PsychINFO, various key journals, and review articles; November 30, 2016, was the last date for the search. The Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies was used to grade the methodological quality of the studies.

resultsThe present review included 14 studies. Stability of the corrected AOB ranged from 61.9% to 100%. The studies with orthognathic surgeries showed a stability of 70-100%. The studies without orthognathic surgeries showed the stability of 61.9-96.7%. All of the studies were retrospective. The mean change in AOB before (T1) and after treatment (T2-T1) was 0.1 mm to 6.93 mm and the mean change in overbite from T2 to T3 (T3-T2) was -0.06 mm to 2.5 mm.

conclusionStudies with orthognathic surgeries presented with high amount of long-term stability in corrected AOB. No significant difference was noticed in relation to the type of malocclusion and extraction or non-extraction cases.
