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

purposeThe aim of this study is to conduct a kinematic analysis of occupational posture in orthodontists.

methodsA representative sample of 21 (13 female/8 male) residents in orthodontics and orthodontists was studied. The CUELA system collects kinematic data of the occupational posture. Alongside the kinematic analysis, the tasks performed on-site were also subject to a detailed computerized analysis. Data analysis comprised the evaluation and comparison of joint angle distribution in accordance with ergonomic standards categorized as neutral, moderate or awkward posture.

resultsThe most common activities were executed in a seated position. During "treatment" (28% of total time) participants most often worked with a straight back (84.7%), whereas a "bent or twisted" torso posture was observed 23.4% of the time. For head and cervical spine, the 75th and 95th percentiles presented worse (higher) values during treatment as compared to non-orthodontic activities. The seated position next to the patient during treatment showed a stronger inclination of the thoracic spine to the right and an inclination of the lumber spine to the left.

conclusionsOrthodontists do take characteristic postures during treatment activities with highest angle values. The postures differ in the area of head and cervical spine with regard to the various activities carried out in the 3 categories.
