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

Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a developmental disorder characterized by excessive and progressive condyle growth, leading to facial asymmetry, malocclusion, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The timing and selection of treatment approaches are crucial for optimal outcomes. In this case, we implemented a four-year conservative management strategy, comprising two years of passive observation followed by two years of pre-surgical orthodontics, enabling conservative treatment while avoiding the potential risks. The long-term absence of the mandibular first molar resulted in alveolar ridge atrophy, presenting challenges for orthodontic or implant treatments. Through the integration of periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO), we achieved significant posterior tooth mesial movement (5 mm) within three months in the atrophic region, establishing stable and functional occlusal relationships.
