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 compare the designed and achieved maxillary teeth movements in patients undergoing first premolar extraction after the initial series of Invisalign MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-three consecutive adult patients (Class I with crowding or bimaxillary protrusion) from a single clinical division who completed the first series of aligners after first premolar extractions were included in this retrospective study. The pretreatment, designed, and post-first series treatment teeth (crowns, roots, and bone) models were exported from ClinCheck

resultsSignificant discrepancies were observed between the designed and achieved maxillary tooth movements, particularly in mesiodistal (except U1) and buccolingual (except U6) angular tooth movements (P < 0.05). In contrast, non-significant discrepancies were observed in linear buccolingual movements (P > 0.05). Significant discrepancies in mesiodistal (all teeth) and vertical (U1, U5, U6) tooth movements were more pronounced (P < 0.05). Key influencing factors included the usage of TADs, aligner generation (G6), attachment design, overbite, and gender (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThis study highlights significant deviations between the designed and achieved maxillary teeth (crowns with roots) movements following the first premolar extractions in the initial series of Invisalign
