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

objectivesThis study aimed to determine the accuracy of overbite correction in patients with deep bite using the clear aligner therapy (CAT). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 31 patients prescribed orthodontic treatment using CAT from January 2020 to January 2024. Clinical information was collected via X-ray results at pre-treatment and post-treatment stages. Treatment outcomes were measured at three stages: pre-treatment, post-treatment (clinical results), and predict treatment (predict results) as programmed in ClinCheck®.

resultsSignificant changes were observed in X-ray in both overbite (3.85 ± 1.38 mm to 2.93 ± 1.13 mm) and overjet (5.19 ± 1.79 mm to 3.43 ± 1.14 mm) following CAT. For clinical crown lengthening (CCL) of tooth 31, significant differences were noted between pre-treatment and post-treatment (-0.31 ± 0.66 mm) and between predicted and clinical results (-0.21 ± 0.58 mm). For CCL of tooth 41, significant differences were found between pre-treatment and post-treatment (-0.36 ± 0.66 mm) and between prediction and post-treatment (-0.32 ± 0.65 mm). The percentage of deep bites differed significantly between pre-treatment vs predicted treatment (38.10 ± 14.90%), pre-treatment vs post-treatment (11.80 ± 14.30%), and predicted treatment vs post-treatment (-26.40 ± 12.60%). Similar trends were observed in mean overbite (2.77 ± 1.07 mm, 0.69 ± 0.93 mm, and - 2.08 ± 0.83 mm, respectively).

conclusionsOur findings support the use of CAT as a reliable and aesthetic option for treating deep bite malocclusions.
