Longitudinal Study on the Impact of Orthodontic Treatment Timing on Skeletal and Dental Development in Adolescents.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: The timing of orthodontic treatment can significantly impact skeletal and dental development, particularly during the adolescent growth spurt. This study investigates the influence of early, mid, and late-treatment initiation on mandibular growth, dental alignment, and occlusal correction in adolescents. Methods: A total of 60 adolescents were divided into three groups based on their skeletal maturity: early, mid, and late. Key parameters including mandibular growth, dental alignment, and occlusal changes were measured at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment. A two-year follow-up was conducted, and a cephalometric analysis was performed. Results: The early-treatment group showed the most significant skeletal changes, particularly in mandibular growth. The mid and late groups demonstrated better dental alignment outcomes. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in mandibular growth between groups ( Conclusion: Treatment timing plays a critical role in determining skeletal and dental outcomes. Early treatment enhances skeletal changes, while later treatment is more effective for dental alignment.
