Esthetic preference of upper central incisor inclination in a smile profile view. A cross-sectional study.

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: The objective of this study was to determine the esthetic preference of the upper central incisor (UCI) inclination from a smiling profile view in laypeople of Latin American origin. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study used a smiling profile photograph that was digitally modified to generate 7 types of UCI inclinations (+15°, +10°, +5°,0°, -10°, and -15°). Thus, 160 evaluators distributed in 4 groups (40 Peruvians, 39 Mexicans, 40 Brazilians and 41 Colombians) assessed the images using a visual analog scale. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn Bonferroni tests were applied for multiple comparisons of ratings between groups ( Results: The general sample of evaluators of the four nationalities considered -5° the most attractive slant and 0° the second most attractive slant, although a significant difference was found in the intensity of preference ( Conclusions: Slightly retroclined (-5°) and neutral (0°) inclinations of central incisor were the most preferred by the Latin American individuals. This result should be considered by orthodontists for treatment planning.
