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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to observe the dental arch asymmetry in 12-year-olds with normal occlusion during the early permanent dentition stage.
methodsNinety-two 12-year-old students (46 males and 46 females) who had normal occlusion during early permanent dentition were selected from a junior high school in Tangshan, China. Once per year for three consecutive years, a dental cast was obtained from each subject, and the cast was scanned with a 3D digital scanner (R700 3D). The median palatal plane (MPP) and transverse palatal plane (TPP) were used as the reference plane for the transverse and anteroposterior measurements, respectively.
resultsMost of the dental arch asymmetry indicators decreased with age, but these differences were not statistically significant. The values of the midincisal edge of the upper central incisors (U1), midincisal edge of the upper lateral incisors (U2), upper canine cusp tip (U3), upper first premolar buccal cusp tip (U4), upper second premolar buccal cusp tip (U5), upper first molar mesiobuccal cusp tip (U6MB), and upper first molar distobuccal cusp tip (U6DB) to the TPP were 0.019 mm, 0.279 mm, 0.017 mm, 0.016 mm, 0.016 mm, 0.027 mm, and 0.200 mm, respectively; these values were larger in males than in females (
conclusionThe asymmetry of the dental arch in 12-to-15-year-olds with normal occlusion did not change significantly with age. The anteroposterior asymmetry of the maxillary dental arch is larger in males than in females. With the exception of the central incisor, the anteroposterior asymmetry of the mandibular dental arch is larger than that of the maxillary dental arch. The transverse asymmetry of the mandibular dental arch is larger than the anteroposterior asymmetry.
