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

Class III malocclusion is a dentoskeletal condition characterized by altered relationships between bones, teeth, and muscular structures. Sagittal and transversal maxillary deficiency is one of the most common patterns, negatively affecting facial esthetics and the psychosocial well-being of the patient. This case report describes an 11-year-old male patient with Class III skeletal malocclusion, a deep anterior crossbite, and a transverse discrepancy. Orthodontic treatment was performed with a mini-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE 2S), anchored in the maxilla with two mini-implants, combined with four additional components: two for a face mask and two for the Ertty Gap III protocol, as well as a lip bumper with flanges for 5/16 heavy intermaxillary elastics in Class III mechanics for 24 h a day, attached to a soldered lingual arch. The combination of these orthopedic devices synergistically improved expansion and anteroposterior changes, resulting in significant functional, esthetic, and psychological improvements for the patient.
