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

This article assesses the dental and skeletal changes resulting from correction of a deep bite using Invisalign clear aligner therapy (Align Technology, Santa Clara, California, United States).This is a retrospective case series study that analyzed pre- and posttreatment cephalograms for 37 adult deep bite patients. Each patient was treated by one experienced clinician using the same treatment protocol. Ten linear and 9 angular variables were evaluated pre- and posttreatment. The Wilcoxon analysis was used to determine if there was a significant difference in the 19 variables pre- and posttreatment.Statistically significant differences (
