Mini-Screw-Assisted Orthodontic Retraction of Class I Malocclusion in a Bimaxillary Protrusion Patient Using Sliding Mechanics: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A condition known as bimaxillary protrusion occurs when the front teeth protrude due to the forward positioning of the lower and upper jaws. Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are utilized to provide anchorage and facilitate the controlled retraction of maxillary and mandibular protruding teeth, helping to correct the patient's bite and facial aesthetics. A 27-year-old female with bimaxillary protrusion reported to the Department of Orthodontics. On examination, the facial profile of the patient was convex. The clinical FMA was high. With a deep mentolabial sulcus and an acute nasolabial angle, lips were potentially competent. An intraoral examination revealed proclined incisors with spacing in the maxillary arch and proclined anterior teeth in the mandibular arch. Space closure was done using sliding mechanics with direct anchorage from a mini-screw after the extraction of all four first premolars. There was a significant improvement in the patient's profile posttreatment.
