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

backgroundTo assess the long-term functional orthodontic outcome of the Tübingen palatal plate (TPP) in children with Robin sequence (RS) in comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

methodsBetween 09/2019 and 10/2020, we performed orthodontic assessments in 41 children at our Department of Orthodontics. Included were patients with RS (17 non-syndromic; four syndromic) and healthy controls (

resultsThe orthodontic examinations showed no statistically significant group differences regarding functional extraoral, intraoral and pharyngeal parameters, or in skeletal patterns. The relationship between the upper and lower incisors was significantly increased (overjet 4 (2-10) vs. 3 (0-9) mm;

conclusionChildren with RS treated with the TPP showed normal long-term functional orthodontic outcomes, thanks to the functional adaption of the stomatognathic system. However, soft tissue growth did not completely match skeletal growth, resulting in a more convex facial profile.
