Periodontal Health Outcomes Following Mini-Screw-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion Versus Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion: A Comparative Analysis.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) effectively corrects transverse maxillary deficiencies. For adults, MARPE (Mini-Screw-Assisted RPE) and SARPE (Surgically Assisted RPE) are two methods that can be used. However, their impact on periodontal health is not well known. Knowing these differential effects can help optimize treatment. The goal of the research was to assess gingival recession, alveolar bone loss, root resorption, and other periodontal health outcomes in patients undergoing MARPE and SARPE procedures. Materials and Methods: This prospective comparative study included 40 adult patients ( Results: Both groups achieved comparable maxillary expansion (MARPE 6.2 ± 0.8 mm; SARPE 6.5 ± 0.7 mm; Conclusion: MARPE is associated with more favorable periodontal health outcomes, specifically less gingival recession and better buccal alveolar bone preservation, compared with SARPE in adult maxillary expansion. MARPE may offer a biologically gentler approach with reduced periodontal risks.
