The Power of Customized Clear Aligners in Closing Molar Edentulous Spaces: Clinical and Medico-Legal Considerations in a Scoping Review and Case Report.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Successful closure of edentulous spaces with clear aligners (CAs) is influenced by many factors. CAs are tailored orthodontic devices whose predictability may have relevant medico-legal implications. This study presents a scoping review about missing molar space closure (MMSC) with CAs and a clinical case. This study aims to highlight the feasibility of molar space closure by mesialization with CAs without hybrid supports. Following PRISMA Sc-review guidelines, English-written randomized/non-randomized/observational clinical studies on PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and Lilacs were searched. An 18-year-old patient, with upper and lower edentulous spaces due to the loss of two first molars, was rehabilitated with CAs (Sorridi
