1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

rationaleThe 6 elements of orofacial harmony play a crucial role in establishing individual aesthetics in orthodontics and orthognathic treatments. The use of digital tools streamlines multidisciplinary treatment processes and facilitates the attainment of precise outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient required orthodontic treatment because of a convex profile. UR1 was missing because of trauma and was replaced with a fixed bridge. DIAGNOSES: The patient presented with a skeletal Class II relationship and a deep overbite. Diagnosis based on the 6 elements of orofacial harmony identified an overdeveloped maxilla, a relatively normal mandible, and an underdeveloped chin with a vertical growth pattern.

interventionsTo address these issues, a combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment plan was implemented with a detailed surgical protocol developed according to these 6 elements. Customized brackets and 3D-printed occlusal plates were used in this study. After completing orthodontic treatment, an anterior prosthesis was designed using 3D digital technology to restore occlusal function and enhance anterior aesthetics. OUTCOMES: Post-treatment, the patient demonstrated reduced facial convexity, a flattened nasolabial sulcus, balanced occlusal forces, and restored occlusal function. LESSONS: The outcomes of this case highlight the crucial role of the 6 elements of orofacial harmony in guiding the design and aesthetic planning of orthodontic and orthognathic treatment. In addition, the use of personalized treatment tools significantly enhances the treatment accuracy.
