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

purposeTo understand whether two different designs of Haas-type rapid maxillary expander (H‑RME) might have a different influence on canine eruption. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn all, 108 subjects seeking orthodontic treatment were selected and divided into two groups-H‑RME with bands on the upper second deciduous molars (GrE), H‑RME with bands on the upper first permanent molars (Gr6)-and were also compared to an historical untreated control group (CG) of 29 subjects. Panoramic x‑rays (OPG) were performed before and after RME (T0-T1: 16 ± 7 months) and the upper canine angulation to the midline ("α" angle) was measured on both pre- and posttreatment OPG.

resultsA significant improvement of the canine position (decrease of the α angle) following RME in subjects with mixed dentition was reported in both treated groups, although the different design of the RME did not significantly affect canine angulation. Canine angulation in untreated subjects with transversal discrepancy did not improve significantly.

conclusionUsing RME in the early mixed dentition appears to be an effective procedure to increase the rate of eruption of maxillary canines, but the position of the bands on the upper second deciduous molars or on the upper first permanent molars and the significant different expansion of the upper dental arch at the canine level does not significantly influence the canine angulation following early treatment therapy.
