Biomolecular phases in transverse palatal distraction: A review.
Review in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transverse palatal distraction is a biological process of regenerating new bone and enveloping soft tissues in the maxillary palate region. This technique is similar to Osteo-distraction (OD) procedure for bone lengthening in which gradual and controlled traction forces are applied on the osteotomy gaps to produce new bone in between the surgically separated bone segments. This review describes the different phases after osteotomy and the biological process involved during the new bone and soft tissue formation. The mechanical environment formed in the distraction area is due to the traction forces by the distractor appliance. This environment stimulates differentiation of pluripotent cells, neovascularization, osteogenesis and remodeling of newly formed bone. The role of different pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukins, bone morphogenic proteins, transforming growth factors, fibroblast growth factors-2) and extracellular matrix proteins (osteonectin, osteopontin) during the distraction phases has been described in detail. Also, an important note on the nutritional aspect during Osteo-distraction will benefit the clinicians to guide their patients after osteotomy throughout the distraction process.
