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
Statement of the Problem: Despite the prevalence of CLII malocclusion, still the best mechanotherapy for non-extraction treatment is not verified. Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the stress distribution and tooth displacement during maxillary molar distalization with the aid of two different constructions of jigs in three different lever arm heights. Materials and Method: In this finite element study, models were meticulously constructed to represent the maxillary arch teeth (excluding the third molar), periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, maxillary brackets, main archwire, molar bands, jigs, and mini screws. These models were imported into Ansys software for simulation and analysis. Two different jig configurations with three different lever arm height were created. A 150-gram force was applied to simulate tooth movement, facilitate observation, and analyze its effects on oral components. Results: In various experimental configurations involving tow jigs with differing lever arm heights, the central incisor exhibited displacement characterized by lingual and distal crown tipping, along with evidence of intrusion. Concurrently, the first molar displayed lingual and distal tipping, as well as extrusion, across six distinct modalities. Conclusion: In the main, posterior teeth showed distal and lingual tipping and extrusion and anterior teeth demonstrated intrusion mesial and lingual tipping in all models. It seems the differences were due to different lever arm heights. Two types of jig had no significant effect on stress distribution and tooth movement.
