Anterior alveolar bone and tooth inclination in different skeletal patterns: a cone-beam computed tomography study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDespite the importance of dentoalveolar compensation in orthodontic treatment, the inclination of alveolar bone and its relationship with the incisors remain unclear in patients with different skeletal malocclusions. This study aimed to assess anterior alveolar bone inclination (ABI), tooth inclination (TI), and the angulation between them in patients with different skeletal patterns, using a novel method to define ABI, and explore skeletal parameters correlated with ABI.
methodsBased on cone-beam computed tomography images of 79 adult patients, the ABI, TI, and the angulation between them were measured in the central incisor region. The subjects were classified into skeletal Class I, Class II division 1, Class II division 2, and Class III groups, and hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent groups. One-way analysis of variance was performed for intergroup comparison. Craniofacial skeletal parameters were also measured to evaluate correlations with ABI through correlation analysis.
resultsThe ABI and TI were smallest in skeletal Class II division 2 patients in maxilla and decreased gradually in skeletal Class II, I, III patients in mandible (P < 0.01). In terms of vertical skeletal patterns, the ABI in maxilla and the ABI and TI (related to the mandibular plane) in mandible decreased in hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent patients (P < 0.01). The angulation between ABI and TI in maxilla was smaller in hyperdivergent patients and largest in skeletal Class II division 2 patients (P < 0.05). Correlation analyses revealed that the ABI had correlations with TI, ANB, SN-MP, FHI, gonial angle, Y-axis angle, etc.
conclusionsThe anterior ABI and TI, as well as the angulation between them, show significant variations across different skeletal patterns. ABI also exhibits correlations with several skeletal parameters. These variations should be considered in orthodontic treatment planning to reduce the risk of iatrogenic complications.
