Description of a Digital Work-Flow for CBCT-Guided Construction of Micro-Implant Supported Maxillary Skeletal Expander.

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
The introduction of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has widened the boundaries of orthodontic skeletal correction of maxillary transversal deficiency to late adolescence and adult patients. In this respect, Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MSE) is a particular device characterized by the engagement of four miniscrews in the palatal and nasal cortical bone layers. Thus, the availability of sufficient supporting bone and the perforation of both cortical laminas (bi-corticalism) are two mandatory parameters for mini-screw stability, especially when orthopedic forces are used. Virtual planning and construction of MSE based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived stereolithography (.stl) files have been recently described in the literature. In this manuscript we described: (a) a user-friendly digital workflow which can provide a predictable placement of maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) appliance according to the patient's anatomical characteristics, (b) the construction of a positional template of the MSE that allows lab technician to construct the MSE appliance in a reliable and accurate position, according to the virtual project planned by the orthodontist on the patient CBCT scans. We also described a case report of an adult female patient affected by skeletal transversal maxillary deficiency treated with MSE appliance that was projected according to the described workflow.
