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

Background: Safe orthodontic tooth movement should be performed within the alveolar bone. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphology of the alveolar bone of incisors. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included pretreatment cone beam computed tomography of 120 patients with malocclusion. Patients were divided into 4 groups (Class I, Class II division 1, Class II division 2 and Class III) according to the subspinale-nasion-supramental (ANB) angle and occlusal relationship. The sagittal root positions, anterior and posterior root-cortical bone angles (AR-CA and PR-CA), root-crown ratios (RCR) and alveolar bone thickness were evaluated. Results: The sagittal root positions were mainly positioned against the labial cortical plate in the maxillary incisors of the Class II division 2 group and engaged by both the labial and palatal cortical plates in the mandibular incisors of the Class III group. The AR-CA was lower than that in the other groups ( Conclusion: Based on several limitations, this study found that maxillary incisor roots were at risk of penetrating the alveolar bone of Class II division 2 patients, and mandibular incisors may have a relatively small range of safe movement on both the labial and lingual sides of Class III patients during orthodontic treatment.
