Long-term effects of orthodontic interceptive expansion treatment : A retrospective study.
Review in Journal of orofacial orthopedics = Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie : Organ/official journal Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kieferorthopadie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the long-term effects of interceptive orthodontic treatment with a removable expansion plate, based on transversal, sagittal, and vertical parameters.
methodsA total of 90 patients needing interceptive treatment due to a crossbite or space deficiency were included. Records consisting of clinical photos, radiographs, and digital dental casts were collected for evaluation at two time points: the start of interceptive treatment (T0) and the start of comprehensive treatment (T1). Molar occlusion, overjet, overbite, presence and type of crossbite, mandibular shift, and transversal measurements were recorded for comparison.
resultsAfter expansion with removable appliances, a significant increase in intermolar width was achieved and could be maintained over the observation period (p < 0.001). However, no significant changes regarding overjet, overbite, or molar sagittal occlusion were observed. Crossbite correction was successful in 86.9% of patients with unilateral crossbite and in 75.0% of patients with bilateral crossbite (p < 0.001).
conclusionEarly expansion with a removable expansion plate is a successful method to correct crossbites and increase intermolar width in the early mixed dentition phase. Results remain stable until the start of comprehensive treatment in the permanent dentition.
