Comparison of the short-term effects of tooth-bone-borne and tooth-borne rapid maxillary expansion in older adolescents.
Article in Journal of orofacial orthopedics = Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie : Organ/official journal Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kieferorthopadie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo compare the short-term effects of tooth-bone-borne and tooth-borne rapid maxillary expansion (RME) devices on dentofacial structures in older adolescents.
methodsThe retrospective study reviewed pre- and posttreatment lateral and posteroanterior cephalometric images and orthodontic model records of patients who underwent maxillary expansion. Two groups were formed, in which the same upper jaw expansion protocol was applied with two different maxillary expansion devices: the first group consisted of 15 individuals treated with tooth-bone-borne (hybrid) RME (HRME; 9 girls and 6 boys; mean age, 16.9 ± 0.42 years) and the second group consisted of 15 individuals treated with tooth-borne (conventional) RME (CRME; 8 girls and 7 boys; mean age, 16.74 ± 0.54 years). Cephalometric and orthodontic model measurements were conducted on the records taken before and after treatment.
resultsSignificant skeletal and dental expansions were observed in both groups (p < 0.05). However, the increase in nasal width measurements in the HRME group (2.24 ± 0.61 mm) was significantly higher than the increase in the CRME group (1.12 ± 0.25 mm; p < 0.01). Buccal tipping of the premolars was significantly less in the HRME group (0.46 ± 0.35°) than in the CRME group (2.46 ± 0.63°; p < 0.01). The amount of tipping of the molars was higher in the HRME group (4.76 ± 0.88°) compared to the CRME group (2.9 ± 1.03°; p < 0.01).
conclusionAlthough the HRME device increase the nasal width in older adolescents to a greater extent, more dental side effects were seen at the maxillary first molars.
