Effect of craniofacial morphology on gingival parameters of mandibular incisors.
Article in The Angle orthodontist, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesTo investigate the association between the width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), gingival phenotype (GP), and gingival thickness (GT) with craniofacial morphology in sagittal and vertical dimensions. MATERIALS AND
methodsWKG, GP, and GT of mandibular anterior teeth in 177 preorthodontic patients (mean age 18.38 ± 5.16 years) were assessed clinically using a periodontal probe, a Colorvue Biotype Probe, and ultrasound by a single examiner. Patients were grouped into skeletal Class I, II, and III and hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent based on ANB and SN-MP angles. Mandibular incisor inclination (L1-NB) was also measured. Clinical and cephalometric measurements were repeated to assess inter- and intraexaminer reproducibility.
resultsA significant association was found between thin GP and skeletal Classes I and III for the left mandibular central incisor (MCI; P = .0183). In skeletal Class III patients, L1-NB angle demonstrated a decreasing trend as phenotype thickness decreased. A significant association was found between thin phenotype and normodivergent and hypodivergent groups for MCIs (left: P = .0009, right: P = .00253). No significant association between WKG or GT and craniofacial morphology was found.
conclusionsThin GP is associated with skeletal Class I and III for the left MCI. Thin GP is associated with hypodivergent and normodivergent skeletal patterns for the MCIs. There was no association between WKG and GT and craniofacial morphology in both skeletal and vertical dimensions. Dental compensations that exist due to different craniofacial morphology may influence the GP.
