Mixed Dentition Analysis Using Moyers' and Tanaka-Johnston's Methods in the Indian Population: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Mixed dentition analysis has been vital for the early identification and management of malocclusion in pediatric dentistry. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of Moyers' and Tanaka-Johnston's methods for predicting the mesiodistal width of unerupted canines and premolars in the Indian population. A computerized search of articles published on PubMed and Scopus was conducted. The search resulted in a sample composed of 328 articles, out of which 14 were selected. The results show that the predictability of these analyses among the study populations varied, with a 20-30% acceptance rate for Moyers' analysis compared to Tanaka-Johnston's method. The majority of the papers analyzed indicated that the accuracy of Tanaka-Johnston's method did not meet expectations when compared to Moyers' analysis.
