Three-dimensional evaluation using CBCT of the mandibular asymmetry and the compensation mechanism in a growing patient: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Background: This case report aims to evaluate the development and the compensation mechanisms of the mandibular asymmetry in a growing male patient using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). In this case, the menton deviated on the right, a sporadic condition, which may be the consequence of a disorder in the mandibular growth. Case presentation: The young male patient was treated with rapid palatal expander (RPE) and Fränkel functional regulator III (FR-3). The initial CBCT was acquired at the beginning of therapy when the patient was 8 years old, and the final CBCT was developed at the end of the treatment when the patient was 12 years old. The patient's CBCT was performed with the head oriented according to the Natural Head Position (NHP); the NHP is a physiological and reproducible posture defined for morphological analysis. The 3D image of the cranium was oriented in the Dolphin software according to NHP posture, and cephalometric measurements were taken in the software's frontal, laterolateral right and left, posteroanterior, and submentovertex views. The therapy lasted 3.8 years and ended with significant regression of the mandibular asymmetry from moderate grade (4.2 mm) to slight grade (1.3 mm). Conclusion: The literature shows that the left hemi-mandible has grown more than the right side, which affirms that in case of deviation of the menton >4 mm, the bone volume increases on the non-deviated side.
