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

Surgical guides are integral tools in orthodontics, enhancing the precision and predictability of mini-implant placement. These guides facilitate accurate positioning, reduce risks to surrounding anatomical structures, and ensure proper angulation and depth during procedures. The aim of the present paper is to present a detailed review of the surgical guides used in orthodontics, focusing on their classification, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and future developments. The advantages, disadvantages, clinical steps, and implications are also described based on the data in recent scientific literature. Future developments may incorporate artificial intelligence and augmented reality, further optimizing treatment planning and patient outcomes, thus solidifying the role of surgical guides in efficient orthodontic care.
