Euler-angle norms for tooth rotation, torque and tip.
Article in Orthodontics & craniofacial research, 2025. 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
introThe aim of the current study was to develop and describe a new measuring system for the orientation of a tooth in a digitalized cast of a jaw and provide new angular values for the rotation, torque and tip of maxillary and mandibular teeth.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study involved the utilization of a sub-group of extrinsic Euler-angles to derive optimal norm values per tooth in three different planes of orientation ('rotation', 'torque' and 'tip') by evaluating the digital representations of the teeth derived from a database containing over 17,500 patients. The process involved the entry of the .stl files of the jaw pairs into a fully automated software system (Smyl:Ai, Ulm, Germany) whereupon jaw alignment, teeth segmentation, landmark identification and visual validation of input files was conducted prior to calculation of the norm values for the three different planes of orientation.
resultsThe digital scans in stereolithography (.STL)-file format of the upper and lower dentitions of 1914 individuals with optimal occlusion were chosen and evaluated. New mean (standard deviation) angular values were determined for the rotation, torque and tip of maxillary and mandibular teeth.
conclusionThe findings facilitate the reappraisal of rotation, torque and tip values currently acceptable as ideal. They will inform anthropologists and dental researchers about occlusion and alignment in orthodontic and non-orthodontic patients and provide baseline data for future studies. The methodology will also enable the evaluation of large numbers of data in relatively short timeframes.
