Tooth-Bone-Borne vs Bone-Borne Rapid Maxillary Expanders on Dentoskeletal Changes.

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
Purpose: This study compared the insertion and thickness of the cortical bone, the parallelism of the midpalatal suture, and the skeletal transverse dimension using a microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) with those produced by bone-anchored maxillary expander (BAME) in adults. Patients and Methods: The sample comprised 18 patients (mean age, 29.9±9.4 years) selected for the MARPE group and 18 (mean age 24.8±6.8 years) selected for the BAME group. Cone-Beam computed tomography scans taken just before and after the expansion. Results: After treatment, there was a significant palatal depth decrease. In addition, maxillary and mandibular width were increased in both groups. Regarding the cortical bone insertion and cortical bone width, it is shown an increase in both groups but those changes are not significant. However, the anterior suture opening effect occurs more frequently in the BAME than in the MARPE device. There are no differences in the frequency of opening of the midpalatal suture in the cases treated with MARPE and BAME, in both cases the most frequent opening morphology is parallel, independently of midpalatal suture maturation. Conclusion: There are no differences in the use of MARPE or BAME in the parallelism of the middle palatal suture, the cortical bone insertion, and thickness according to the maturation stages of the midpalatal suture but significantly increases the transverse dimensions of the maxillary skeleton.
