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

backgroundTo infer the optimal angulation and height level of mini-implant insertion in the anterior nasal spine (ANS) region from alveolar bone depth (BD) and labial cortical bone thickness (CBT) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), the influences of sex, age, and growth pattern on BD, CBT, and the starting point of the ANS were examined. MATERIAL AND

methodsBD and CBT were measured on CBCT median sagittal images at specific angles (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 degrees) to simulate the angulation of insertion. The height level of the first axial image with obvious bone ridge was recorded as the start of ANS.

resultsThe average height of ANS start was 9.42 mm from the alveolar bone crest between the central incisors. The variations in height level and insertion angle combined, or either of them individually, significantly influenced BD and CBT, demonstrating overall decreasing trends (

conclusionThe recommended insertion height level is 14-16 mm from the alveolar bone crest and the recommended angulation is 30-45°. An innovative inequity in the relationship between a certain height level and the insertion angulation is proposed.
