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
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of a customized distalizer with Variety SP® screws anchored on palatal miniscrews for upper molar distalization.
methodsSeventeen patients aged between 12.5 and 24 years underwent distalization with a customized distalizer. Lateral cephalogram and cast analysis were performed before and after distalization. Linear and angular parameters of the upper first molar, first premolar, and central incisor were assessed.
resultsDistalization with the force passing near the center of resistance (CRes) of the upper first molars resulted in distal movement, with minimal distal tipping (2.8 ± 0.45°, p< 0.05). However, distalization passing occlusal to the CRes led to greater distal tipping (13.6 ± 1.63°, p< 0.05). Statistically significant spontaneous distal tipping and distal movement of the upper first premolars occurred, with a mean of 6.2 ± 1.24° (p< 0.05) and 0.68 ± 0.34 mm (p< 0.05), respectively. The positional change of the upper central incisors presented a mean of -0.23 ± 0.1 mm (p> 0.05) and 2.65 ± 1.1° (p< 0.05). Upper first molar intrusion was statistically significant, with a mean of 0.88 ± 0.2 mm (p< 0.05). Upper right and left first molars rotation towards palatal midline presented mean of 4.1 ± 0.19° (p< 0.05) and 3.4 ± 0.1° (p< 0.05), respectively. Additionally, the distance between upper right and left first molars increased significantly, with a mean of 2.54 ± 0.01 mm (p< 0.05).
conclusionThe study successfully demonstrated the efficiency of molar distalization without anchorage loss using a customized distalizer anchored on palatal miniscrews.
