Effect of clear aligner type on maxillary full-arch intrusion: 3D analysis using finite element method.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVertical maxillary excess (VME) is one of the most common reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment. Total intrusion with aligners is a promising alternative to surgery in some cases. Considering the elastic deformation of aligners, this study aimed to evaluate the possible desirable and undesirable teeth displacements during full maxillary arch intrusion using clear aligners and temporary anchorage devices (TADs).
methodsThe maxillary arch and clear aligners were modeled in SolidWorks. Four aligner brands including Leon, Duran, Duran Plus, and Essix Plus were selected based on their material properties. Anterior and posterior intrusion forces of 80 and 300 g were applied from attachments between the canines and first premolars and between the first and second molars, respectively. Vertical and anteroposterior tooth displacements were determined.
resultsThe greatest intrusion was recorded at the buccal of the second molar, followed by the first molar. The lowest value was measured at the palatal of the molars with all aligners except Duran, which indicated minimal intrusion in the central incisor. All teeth were mesially displaced at the incisal/occlusal except incisors that moved distally. All apices showed distal movement.
conclusionsTotal intrusion using clear aligners may be accompanied by other tooth movements, including buccal tipping and mesial-in rotation of the molars, retrusion of incisors, and mesial movement of other teeth.
