Impact of digital orthodontics on maxillary protraction with implants in children with skeletal class III: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in The Saudi dental journal, 2024. 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: The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effectiveness of digital orthodontics in utilizing implants for maxillary protraction as a treatment for skeletal class III malocclusion in children. Materials and Methods: The study was registered with PROSPERO with the number CRD42023407406 on 23/03/2023. We conducted an extensive comprehensive literature search in nine electronic databases, including PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Cochrane databases, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, and the Web of Sciences databases. The studies were evaluated for their methodology, the intervention technology used, the outcomes, and their quality. Publication bias assessment was conducted using the Jadad scale and the ROBINS-I assessment tool. Results: We included a total of 17 studies that comprised a total of 376 patients in this analysis. The number of patients and participants fluctuated between 1 and 71, with > 60 % being female. The patients were aged between 1.1 and 19.2 years. We included only nine studies in the Conclusion: The evidence suggests that digital orthodontics is a promising approach for treating children with skeletal class III malocclusion using implants for maxillary protraction. However, further high-quality studies are required for validating our current observations and regulating the stability of treatment outcomes on a long-term basis.
