Positional Changes of the Maxillary Permanent Canines After Treatment with Facemask and Hyrax: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Early treatment of Class III malocclusion in growing patients remains a significant orthodontic challenge due to unfavorable growth patterns. This study evaluates the positional changes of the maxillary permanent canines (Mx3) and the first maxillary permanent molars (Mx6) after early treatment of Class III malocclusion with maxillary expansion and protraction (MEP). Material and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including a longitudinal and panoramic radiographic (panorex) analysis. Forty-one Class III patients with maxillary hypoplasia (25 females, 16 males) treated in mixed dentition with MEP were compared to an untreated control group of 41 patients (23 females, 18 males). Positional changes of Mx3 were assessed using panorex. Angulation and sectional location of Mx3 were classified according to Power & Short (PS), the Lindauer modification of Ericson & Kurol (L), and Warford (W). Results: No statistically significant differences were found in the PS and W analyses or in the height of Mx3 between the initial and final evaluations. The L analysis indicated that most Mx3 were located in sectors I and II. Some Mx3 in sector II progressed toward sector I. No Mx3 in the treated group had a poor prognosis, compared to only 3.7% in the control group. Most Mx3 maintained their L prognosis, with improvement observed in 22% of the control group and 29.3% of the treated group. The majority of Mx3 in the final evaluation had a favorable prognosis. Conclusions: The results indicate that MEP treatment does not cause unfavorable positional changes in Mx3 or Mx6 in these patients.
