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: The aim of the study was to compare the ALD results obtained using the Huckaba and Moyers methods, including the segmentation and brass wire techniques, in class I Angle malocclusion in Surabayan children during the MD and GDP at Dental Hospital Universitas Airlangga. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a retrospective cross-sectional design, involving a total of 252 samples. However, only 32 samples that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed for ALD by using the Huckaba and Moyers methods. Sex, chronological age, and malocclusion angle classification were recorded. Cervical maturation vertebrae stage was conducted to determine the skeletal age, while dental age was investigated through the Demirjian method in the GDP during MD in Javanese children. Lateral cephalogram was examined to determine skeletal malocclusion based on the Steiner analysis (Sella-Nasion-A [<SNA], Sella, Nasion, B [<SNB], [SNA-SNB] <ANB). Statistical Analysis: The Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests revealed nonnormal distribution and lack of homogeneity, leading to the use of nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests for identifying significant differences. Results: In the upper and jaw, the Moyers method demonstrated a positive ALD value, whereas the Huckaba method exhibited a negative ALD value, indicating a significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Discrepancy analysis revealed significant differences between the Huckaba and Moyers methods for class I Angle malocclusion in Surabayan children during MD and GDP at Dental Hospital Universitas Airlangga.
