Active vertical control with skeletal anchorage for optimizing facial profile in a severe Class II high-angle protrusion case.

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
This case report describes the nonsurgical management of a patient with a Class II skeletal pattern, retrognathic mandible, steep mandibular angle, maxillary vertical excess, and lip incompetence. The treatment approach involved orthodontic mechanics supported with skeletal anchorage to achieve maximal intrusion and retraction of the dentition. A novel elastic hanging rack appliance, supported by midpalatal miniscrews, was used. A maximal anchorage setup for active vertical control on both arches was illustrated. Significant improvement in the facial profile was achieved with optimal occlusion. Cephalometric analysis revealed successful incisor retraction and intrusion, as well as a forward rotation of the mandible. The treatment outcome illustrates the impact of active vertical control on orthodontic camouflage treatment for severe protrusion.
