Effectiveness of Functional Mandibular Advancer in Patients with Class II Malocclusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of functional mandibular advancer (FMA) in treating growing patients with Class II malocclusion. Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Lilacs from 1945 to 30 Results: Seven articles met the criteria and were included in the systematic review and three articles were included in the meta-analysis. Three studies had at low risk of bias and four studies had a moderate risk of bias. All articles reported anterior positioning of the mandible along with an increase in mandibular length. The meta-analysis results indicated a negligible difference between FMA and other functional appliances for the parameters SNA [0.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) of -1.07 and 1.29] and ANB (-1.00, 95% CI of -1.34 and -0.65). The evidence was limited for soft tissue changes. Conclusion: Class II correction with FMA involved a combination of skeletal and dentoalveolar changes and was similar to other fixed functional appliances.
