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

The purpose of this study was to report root remodeling/resorption percentages of maxillary teeth following the different maxillary osteotomies; i.e. one-piece, two-pieces, three-pieces Le Fort I, surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE). The possibility of relationships between root remodeling and various patient- and/or treatment-related factors were further investigated. A total of 110 patients (1075 teeth) who underwent combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgery were studied retrospectively. The sample size was divided into: 30 patients in one-piece Le Fort I group, 30 patients in multi-pieces Le Fort I group, 20 patients in SARPE group and 30 patients in orthodontic group. Preoperative and 1 year postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained. A validated and automated method for evaluating root remodeling and resorption in three dimensions (3D) was applied. SARPE group showed the highest percentage of root remodeling. Spearman correlation coefficient revealed a positive relationship between maxillary advancement and root remodeling, with more advancement contributing to more root remodeling. On the other hand, the orthodontic group showed a negative correlation with age indicating increased root remodeling in younger patients. Based on the reported results of linear, volumetric and morphological changes of the root after 1 year, clinical recommendations were provided in the form of decision tree flowchart and tables. These recommendations can serve as a valuable resource for surgeons in estimating and managing root remodeling and resorption associated with different maxillary surgical techniques.
