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

objectivesThis study was aimed at resolving the controversy over the wearing time of mandibular advancement (MA) appliances by comparing the differences between part-time and full-time MA (PTMA and FTMA) from the perspective of promoting H-type vessel coupling osteogenesis in the condylar heads. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty 30-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: the control (Ctrl), PTMA, and FTMA groups. The mandibular condyles were analyzed by morphology, micro-computed tomography, histological staining, and immunofluorescence staining to investigate the changes of the condylar heads in the PTMA and FTMA groups after 31 days.

resultsBoth PTMA and FTMA models promoted condylar growth and achieved stable mandibular advancement at day 31. However, compared with PTMA, FTMA has the following characteristics. First, new bone formation in the condylar head was detected in the retrocentral region in addition to the posterior region. Second, the condylar proliferative layer was thicker, and the number of pyknotic cells in the hypertrophic and erosive layers was higher. Moreover, endochondral osteogenesis of the condylar head was more active. Finally, the retrocentral and posterior regions of the condylar head had more vascular loops or arcuate H-type vessel coupling Osterix

conclusionsWhile both PTMA and FTMA induced new bone formation in the condylar heads of middle-aged mice, FTMA promoted more osteogenesis by volume and region. Furthermore, FTMA presented more H-type vessel coupling Osterix CLINICAL RELEVANCE: FTMA is better at promoting condylar osteogenesis, especially in non-growing patients. We suggest that enhancing H-type angiogenesis could be an effective strategy to achieve favorable MA outcomes, especially for patients unable to meet the FT-wearing requirement or being non-growing.
