Effect of the vertical facial pattern on the developmental relationship between the nasal bone and maxillary central incisors.
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 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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the effect of vertical facial patterns on the developmental relationship between the nasal bone and maxillary central incisors.
methodsIn this retrospective comparative study, the lateral cephalograms of 213 subjects (51 Males, 162 Females) with skeletal Class I malocclusion (aged 18-32 years) were classified into three equal groups: (1) hyperdivergent, (2) normodivergent, and (3) hypodivergent facial patterns based on the mandibular plane inclination (S-N/Go-Me). Several sets of measurements were extracted: (1) gradient and length of the nasal bone and maxillary central incisor, (2) the distance from apex and root of the nasal bone, and (3) maxillary central incisor to the true perpendicular from the digitized lateral cephalograms. The significance level was considered at P < 0.05.
resultsThe inclination angle and length between nasal bone and maxillary central incisor were positively correlated independent of vertical facial type. The inclination angle of the nasal bone in the hypodivergent group was significantly larger than the other two vertical facial patterns. The inclination angle of the maxillary central incisor increased successively in the hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent groups. The length of the nasal bone in the hyperdivergent group was significantly longer than that in the hypodivergent and normodivergent groups. The maxillary central incisor length in the hyperdivergent group was significantly longer than in the hypodivergent group.
conclusionA correlation between nasal bone and maxillary central incisors during the growth and development of the maxillofacial region was found. In Class I malocclusion subjects, hypodivergent patients were more likely to have a prominent and relatively short nasal bone and maxillary central incisors and vice versa.
