Early Orthodontic Treatment Needs of Children in High Caries Population Using Index for Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment Needs.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2024. 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
Aim: Early identification and management of developing malocclusion can reduce or eliminate the need for future complicated treatment procedures. The present study was undertaken to assess early orthodontic treatment needs in 6- and 9-year-old children using the index for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment need (IPION) in Pune, India. Materials and methods: A total of 360 children reporting to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry were evaluated clinically and on their respective dental casts according to the IPION requirement. The overall scores were then categorized into "no treatment need," "moderate treatment need," and "definitive treatment need." Results: The final data obtained that around 6.1% of the children had no treatment need, 25% of the children had moderate treatment need, and 68.8% of the children had definitive treatment need. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, we conclude that the studied population had a high early orthodontic treatment needs which can be attributed to the high caries in the study population. Clinical significance: This study provides a better alternative to determine early orthodontic treatment needs using IPION, as it includes more relevant orthodontic parameters in high caries population compared to conventional orthodontic treatment need indices.
