Treatment of Vertical Maxillary Excess and Skeletal Class II Malocclusion: 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Class II malocclusion is a recurrent problem that may occur at a young age. If treated initially, the malocclusion can be corrected by redirecting the growth without invasive modalities and avoiding orthognathic surgeries. A female patient aged 10 years three months came to the department of orthodontics having a complaint of upper front teeth placed forwardly, diagnosed with skeletal class II due to retrusive mandible and vertical maxillary excess with hyper divergent growth pattern with increased anterior facial height, with Angle's molar class II division 1 malocclusion, increased overjet of 13 mm and overbite of 7 mm, acute nasolabial angle, deep mentolabial sulcus, and hyperactive mentalis. It was treated using an activator with medium-high-pull headgear (modified Herren activator) passing through the maxillary center of resistance. A fixed mechanotherapy with high-pull headgear was given using the anterior inclined plane acrylic plate in the maxilla and McLaughlin, Bennett, and Trevisi (MBT). Begg's wrap was used for the retention plan. This case report shows the significance of proper treatment results obtained due to correct identification and planning in treating malocclusion.
