Stress and displacement patterns during orthodontic intervention in the maxilla of patients with cleft palate analyzed by finite element analysis: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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 4 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
objectiveRationale for the review in the context of what is already known about the evaluation of stress and displacement patterns using finite element analysis in the maxilla of patients with cleft palate after orthodontic intervention.
methodsThis systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). The protocol for this systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020177494). The following databases were screened: Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science.
resultsThe search identified 31 records. 15 articles were retrieved for full texts and 11 of them were considered eligible for inclusion by 2 authors. Eventually, 11 articles were included in the qualitative analysis.
conclusionsFinite element analysis is an appropriate tool for studying and predicting force application points for better controlled expansion in patients with UCLP.
