1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The correction of skeletal class III malocclusions is one of the most difficult orthodontic treatments. Skeletal Class III malocclusion may result from a combination of maxillary deficits and mandibular prognathism, mandibular prognathism alone, or maxillary deficits alone. Treatment options include an orthopedic appliance (facemask and chin cup), orthodontics with camouflage, a combination of orthognathic surgery and orthodontics, and the recently introduced bone-anchored maxillary protraction. This case report describes the treatment of a young, growing patient with a retrognathic maxilla using Hyrax with an acrylic splint using the alternative rapid maxillary expansion and constriction protocol and a Petite type facemask.
