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

Objective: This study evaluated the outcomes of treating anterior crossbite in early mixed dentition patients using the Myobrace appliance. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 30 Vietnamese children aged 6-10 years with anterior crossbite from 2020 to 2022. Oral habits, including tonguethrusting, lingual frenum interference, and tongue posture, were evaluated pre- and post-therapy. Clinical, radiographic, and soft tissue outcomes were assessed to monitor craniofacial, dental, and esthetic changes before and after treatment. Results: The mean age was 8.1 years (SD = 0.94), with 60% female participants. The average treatment time was 14.5 months (SD = 1.31). Tonguethrusting decreased from 23.3 to 3.3%, lingual frenum interference resolved completely (43.3 to 0%), and low tongue posture declined from 33.4 to 6.6%. Overjet improved from -2.5 (SD = 1.90) to 1.6 mm (SD = 1.14), and overbite reduced from 2.2 (SD =0.92) to 0.8 mm (SD =1.14). Maxillary and mandibular incisor angulations showed significant improvements: U1 to SN increased from 100.4° (SD = 7.14) to 109.5° (SD = 7.18), and IMPA decreased from 89.8° (SD = 8.77) to 87.0° (SD = 7.97). Most patients adhered to the recommended wear and exercise regimens, though 40% experienced appliance detachment in the first 2 weeks. Conclusion: The Myobrace system effectively corrected anterior crossbite, improved oral habits, and enhanced dental alignment in early mixed dentition, promoting functional and esthetic improvements.
