Lower incisor position in skeletal Class III malocclusion patients: a comparative study of orthodontic camouflage and orthognathic surgery.
Article in The Angle orthodontist, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectivesTo determine the difference between orthodontic camouflage and orthodontic-orthognathic surgery using the traditional cephalometric measurement IMPA and the newly proposed IA/PAMD, the angle between the long axis of the lower incisor (IA) and the principal axis of the mandibular alveolus (PAMD). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 40 cases each in the orthodontic camouflage group (OG) and orthodontic-orthognathic surgery group (SG). The differences between the IMPA and IA/PAMD before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. T0 lateral cephalometric images of the 10 cases with the highest and lowest increase in the IA/PAMD were analyzed to identify characteristics associated with a higher risk of overdecompensation of the lower incisors during presurgical orthodontic treatment.
resultsBoth the OG and SG showed a significant improvement in hard- and soft-tissue measurements. However, in the OG, there was significant lingual inclination of the lower incisor but only a small change in the IA/PAMD. In the surgical group, the IMPA was close to 90° after treatment, but the IA/PAMD significantly increased.
conclusionsIn orthodontic camouflage, the lower anterior teeth were significantly moved lingually with a better root-bone relationship. However, this relationship deteriorated in some surgical patients. Therefore, it is important to conduct cephalometric or cone-beam computed tomography examinations during preoperative orthodontics to identify and prevent possible periodontal risks.
