Dentoskeletal changes and their correlations after micro-implant-assisted palatal expansion (MARPE) in adults with advanced midpalatal suture ossification.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo evaluate and correlate the dentoskeletal changes of adult patients after miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) in the two final stages of midpalatal suture ossification. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis interventional pre-post clinical study consisted of 20 adults (24.9±1.8 years), with transverse maxillary atresia, divided into two subgroups (n=10) based on the ossification degree of the midpalatal suture: stage D, fusion completed in the palatine bone; and stage E, fusion anteriorly in the maxilla. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the pre- (T
resultsAll variables significantly increased after MARPE therapy regardless of the ossification degree (P<0.05). Patients with stage D suture presented wider interincisal diastema and maxillary suture opening (on both regions, anterior and posterior) when compared with patients with stage E (P<0.05). Maxillary interincisor diastema was positively associated with anterior and posterior suture opening for all subjects (P<0.05). MARPE therapy was unsuccessful in six patients, mostly presented by individuals with E maturation stage of the midpalatal suture.
conclusionsAfter MARPE, a significant correction in the transverse defect of the maxillary basal bone was achieved for adults in the last two midpalatal suture maturation stages. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Adult patients in stage D of maxillary suture ossification are more susceptible to dentoskeletal changes following MARPE therapy as compared to patients with stage E.
