Orthognathic-Like Orthodontics: Management of Skeletal Class II Malocclusion in an Adult Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Advances in orthodontic treatment, particularly with the use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs), have significantly improved outcomes for adult patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion. Traditionally reliant on orthognathic surgery, these malocclusions can now benefit from non-surgical options like maxillary molar distalization. Bone screws offer superior anchorage compared to conventional methods, enabling precise tooth movement without undesirable side effects. This case report explores the efficacy of TAD-assisted maxillary molar distalization in an adult patient while focusing on a 50-year-old female who sought orthodontic treatment for Class II malocclusion, characterized by deep bite and increased overjet. Treatment involved the use of an infra-zygomatic crest (IZC) bone screw for maxillary molar distalization as a camouflage strategy to achieve optimal dento-skeletal and soft tissue profile improvements. The case also discusses the key considerations and benefits of utilizing bone screws in adult orthodontic treatment, particularly in minimizing reciprocal effects and reducing dependence on patient compliance.
