Correction of Class I Bimaxillary Protrusion Using Sliding Mechanics With Mini-implant Anchorage: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Class I bimaxillary protrusion is characterized by proclined incisors, a convex facial profile, procumbent lips, and increased lip strain. Treatment includes the extraction of premolars and the mesial movement of the proclined anterior teeth in the extraction spaces to correct the inclination. This case report describes the treatment of an 18-year-old male patient who presented with class I bimaxillary protrusion and procumbent lips. Clinical examination revealed a convex profile, potentially competent lips, and increased lip strain. The treatment plan included therapeutic extraction of all first premolars and complete retraction of the anterior teeth in the extraction spaces. Absolute anchorage was required, and therefore, mini-implants were placed in both the upper and lower arches. Sliding mechanics were used to retract the anterior teeth in the extraction spaces. The use of mini-implants for absolute anchorage allowed for complete retraction of the anterior teeth without the inadvertent mesial movement of the posterior teeth. Posttreatment, the inclination of the anterior teeth was corrected, achieving normal overjet and overbite. Lip procumbancy was reduced, resulting in a more harmonious facial profile.
