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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional morphological characteristics of impacted maxillary central incisors to guide early orthodontic intervention strategies.

methodsCone-beam CT images of 102 patients with unilateral impacted maxillary central incisors were obtained and reconstructed into three-dimensional models. These models were imported into Mimics software for volume and surface area measurements. Root development was compared with that of the contralateral erupted maxillary incisors. The data were analyzed using independent t-tests, Chi-square tests, and multifactorial rank analysis.

resultsQuantitative analysis revealed significant developmental deviations in impacted incisors. Both inverted and labial impaction groups demonstrated substantially smaller crown dimensions compared to controls, with volume reductions of 14.4% (419.81 ± 87.87 mm

conclusionInverted impacted central incisors have a higher incidence of dilacerated roots and poorer root development, indicating the need for early orthodontic intervention strategies of impacted central incisors. Trial registration The trial was retrospectively registered and the trial protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the Hefei Stomatological Hospital (Approval number: 2024LW011).
