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

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment of class II malocclusion with conventional treatment modalities can be challenging for the clinician. The use of microimplants to obtain absolute anchorage has become very popular in recent years especially in noncompliant patients. Microimplants are convenient, save time, and produce good treatment results with no need for patient cooperation. A special approach for class II correction with microimplant supported molar distalization has been developed by the authors and is illustrated through two clinical cases. Results: Class I canine and molar relationship were achieved, and an ideal occlusion was established. Both ANB and FMA angles decreased by 1° due to the counterclockwise rotation effect of the maxillomandibular complex. Skeletal and dental results remained stable three years later. Conclusion: Maxillary molar distalization using coils and buccal microimplants can be regarded as an effective technique in a relatively short time and might be considered a breakthrough in the treatment of class II malocclusions. Microimplants enable the clinician to perform a nonextraction treatment in noncompliant patients who would alternatively be treated only with extractions.
