A novel maxillary transverse deficiency diagnostic method based on ideal teeth position.
Article in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThis study proposed a novel maxillary transverse deficiency diagnostic method and evaluated the skeletal Class I and the mild skeletal Class III groups.
methodsPre-treatment data from 30 mild skeletal Class III and 30 skeletal Class I patients were collected and uploaded to the Emeiqi Case Management System to design the ideal teeth positions. On these positions, the first bi-molars width was measured at the central fossa and center resistance, the maxillary first bi-premolars width was measured at the central fossa, and the mandibular first bi-premolars width was measured at the distal contact point by Mimics, then width differences of two groups were calculated respectively.
resultsAt ideal teeth positions, there was no statistically significant difference in the maxillomandibular width in the premolar area between the two groups, but there was in the molar area, and this difference was caused by the difference in mandible width between the two groups.
conclusionsWe proposed a new transverse diagnostic method and found that even the Class I group was not quite up to standard in the molar area on ideal teeth positions, and the Class III group had more severe maxillary transverse deficiency than the Class I group. Meanwhile, the maxillary transverse deficiency in the Class III group was mainly caused by the larger width of the mandible.
