Stability of anterior open bite cases treated with upper and lower extrusion arches in adults: a follow-up study.
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 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
objectivesTo investigate the post-treatment stability of anterior open bite (AOB) cases treated with upper and lower extrusion arches in adults. MATERIALS AND
methods23 patients with AOB were treated with extrusion arches and evaluated for dentoskeletal changes using lateral cephalometric radiographs before treatment (T0), after treatment (T1), and 12 months post-treatment (T2). Patients received bondable tongue spurs and vacuum-formed retainers as post-treatment retention/stability measures for 12 months. Post-treatment stability was further assessed qualitatively by the Photographic Openbite Severity Index.
resultsAll the cases showed positive overlap between the anterior teeth at the end of orthodontic treatment, and 20 of 23 treated patients attended the recall visit after 12 months. A total of 85% of the cases maintained positive overlap at least 1 year post-treatment, 10% showed edge-to-edge bite, and only 5% showed no overbite.
conclusionsTreatment of AOB in adults with extrusion arches proved to be stable 1 year post-treatment. Changes in the overbite after 1 year of follow-up were not significant.
