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

objectiveTo compare the differences in the amount of dental root resorption (DRR) measured using different orthodontic techniques in the orthodontic treatment of patients with different sagittal skeletal patterns.

methodsNinety-three patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were randomly divided into group A (n=46) and group B (n=47). Group A was treated with bracketless invisible orthodontics and group B was treated using the self-ligating fixed orthodontic technique. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure the amount of DRR in the patients with different sagittal skeletal patterns receiving the orthodontic treatment.

resultsAfter the treatment, the amounts of DRR in the maxillary and mandibular canines in both groups were lower than they were in the other 4 tooth positions (

conclusionDRR occurs in patients with different sagittal skeletal patterns undergoing the two orthodontic techniques in the orthodontic treatment, but there are differences in the amount of DRR among the patients with different sagittal skeletal patterns receiving the orthodontic treatment. Clinically, the orthodontic method should be selected based on the type of patient.
