Effect of Forsus-assisted mandibular advancement on the adaptation of craniocervical posture - A retrospective study.

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
BACKGROUND and
objectiveSkeletal Class II malocclusion patients frequently exhibit an extended craniocervical position. The study's objective was to evaluate how the craniocervical posture has changed following skeletal class II correction using the Forsus fatigue-resistant device (FFRD). METHODOLOGY: A retrospective analysis was undertaken using the pre- and post-treatment records of 35 skeletal class II patients who used the FFRD to achieve class II correction. The metrics suggested by Solow and Rocabado were used to evaluate the cranial and cervical positions. Eleven angular parameters were evaluated to determine the relationship between the mandibular ramus and the skull as well as the upper and middle craniocervical positions. To compare the parameters before and after fixed functional therapy, a Wilcoxon signed rank test was used.
resultsSignificant differences were obtained in the parameters SNA, SNB, and ANB post-FFRD. Significant differences were also noted in NL/OPT, NSL/OPT, FH/CVT, FH/OPT, NSL/CVT, NL/CVT, ML/CVT, FH/RL, and oropharynx position.
conclusionsThe upper and middle craniocervical posture altered significantly with the FFRD. Skeletal class II correction obtained with FFRD delivered the patients a more erect craniocervical posture.
