A Leap Beyond Traditional Methods: A Case Report on the Horizontal Loop Distal Shoe.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06811597 (The Effects of Fixed Space Maintainers Luting with Self-Adhesive Resin Cement on the Gingival Crevicular Fluid of Interleukin-18 Level), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
This case report presents the successful management of a four-year-old male patient with pain in the lower right back tooth region. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the necessity for extraction of tooth 85 due to persistent infection and bone resorption, necessitating space maintenance. A modified distal shoe space maintainer, incorporating horizontal loops for enhanced adjustability, was utilized postextraction. The appliance was fabricated, cemented, and monitored through follow-up visits. At the 24-month recall, the permanent mandibular first molar (tooth 46) was clinically visible, indicating successful space maintenance. Incorporating horizontal loops into the distal shoe space maintainer represents an innovative approach in pediatric dentistry, offering clinicians a versatile tool for managing space loss and promoting optimal eruptive patterns.
