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
aimThis systematic review aimed to assess and quantify the dentoalveolar compensation in skeletal class III malocclusion subjects. MATERIALS AND
methodsUntreated class III subjects whose dentoalveolar compensations were radiologically evaluated were included. Predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied across PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Ovid, and Web of Science electronic databases up to 27 January 2025, with no restriction on the year of publication. A total of 1007 articles were obtained, of which 10 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the systematic review, while 7 were included for the meta-analysis.
resultsRisk of bias assessment was performed using the Newcastle Ottawa scale. Four studies scored 8 points, four studies scored 7 points, and two studies scored 6 points. The qualitative evaluation indicated that the dentoalveolar compensation in class III malocclusion was a result of proclined maxillary and retroclined mandibular incisors. Quantitative evaluation showed that when compared to class I subjects, maxillary incisors in class III subjects were proclined by 4.75° (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72-8.77). Mandibular incisors were retroclined with a mean change in inclination of -8.40° (95% CI -11.21 to -5.60), thus, indicating a greater contribution of mandibular incisors to the compensatory mechanism.
conclusionThe present systematic review and meta-analysis conclusively proved that maxillary incisor proclination and mandibular incisor retroclination contributed to dentoalveolar compensation in class III subjects. Quantitative analysis provided evidence that mandibular incisor retroclination contributed more to dentoalveolar compensation. The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis would be of importance to the clinician while planning treatment, since respecting the anatomical limits of the underlying structures is essential.
