Comparison of Postorthodontic Occlusal Force Distributions between Nonextraction and Extraction Treatment Approaches of Premolars for Orthodontic Treatment by Using T-Scan III System.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo compare bite force distributions in corresponding mouth regions between postorthodontic patients who underwent nonextraction and extraction approaches using the T-Scan III system (Tekscan, Inc, Massachusetts, United States). MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-six postorthodontic patients were divided into two groups: (1) 18 subjects with the nonextraction treatment and (2) 18 subjects with the extraction of four first-premolar treatments. The measurements were performed using the T-Scan to collect the occlusal bite force at the maximal intercuspal position to generate the bite force in the anterior region (incisors and canines) and posterior region (premolars and molars), the bite force in individual teeth, and the anteroposterior bite force ratio (A-P ratio). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The mean bite force in each region, individual teeth, and the A-P ratio were compared between the two groups by the Mann-Whitney's
resultsThe bite force in anterior and posterior regions, and the A-P ratio of the nonextraction group show no significant difference compared with the extraction group (
conclusionBoth nonextraction and extraction orthodontic treated patients exhibited the similar bite force distribution patterns in regions and individual teeth except for the higher occlusal force on the second molars in the extractions compared with the nonextractions.
