Consistency and Reliability Analyses of a Comprehensive Index for the Evaluation of Teeth Alignment Performance.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
(1) Introduction: The purpose of this work was to describe a method and propose a novel accuracy index to assess orthodontic alignment performance. (2) Methods: Fifteen patients who underwent orthodontic treatment using directly printed clear aligners were recruited. The study sample included 12 maxillary and 10 mandibular arches, whose pre-treatment, predicted and post-treatment digital models were superimposed on the untreated posterior teeth by means of a best-fit surface-based registration, which was also used to transfer three anatomical landmarks, digitally labeled on the crown of each anterior moving tooth, from the pre-treatment to the predicted and post-treatment models. The Teeth Alignment Performance (TAP) index, quantifying how close the final landmarks were to their expected final position, was proposed as an accuracy index of both individual tooth and group of teeth movement, and its inter-examiner repeatability was tested. (3) Results: No systematic inter-rater discrepancy associated with TAP was observed (
