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

Objective: Considering the success of infrazygomatic mini-implants in conjunction with traditional braces, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of infrazygomatic mini-implants in en Methods: In a three-dimensional finite element study, we evaluated the en Results: Intrusion was observed in the incisors at all force application arm lengths (0 mm, 4 mm, and 8 mm), with similar sagittal displacement tendencies and labial crown tipping. Among all maxillary teeth, only the canine exhibited distalization of both the crown and root. Distalization of the posterior teeth was achieved, with the greatest magnitude of distalization occurring at the 0-mm force application arm length, which was characterized by minimal tipping and reduced vertical movements compared to the other force application arm lengths. Conclusions: The findings indicate that infrazygomatic mini-implants represent a viable approach for facilitating targeted tooth movement in clear aligners across various force-application arm lengths. These results may inform orthodontic treatment strategies in non-extraction cases.
