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

This report presents a clinical case involving the application of a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) guide to insert miniscrew anchorage at the zygomatic alveolar ridge. A 24-year-old male adult came in with overcrowded teeth and a protruding facial profile, particularly severe overcrowding in the upper teeth and moderate overcrowding in the lower teeth. The orthodontic treatment plan involved extracting four first premolars and adding a mini-implant in the upper jaw to enhance anchorage. A miniscrew was placed in the patient's left zygomatic alveolar ridge using a guide and in the right zygomatic alveolar ridge based on experience. The use of a mini-implant guide improves the accuracy of mini-implant positioning and angulation in the infrazygomatic crest zone, reduces the risk of tooth root damage, and enhances mini-implant stability.
