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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate buccal and lingual alveolar bone thickness of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth and to investigate the prevalence of dehiscence and fenestration across skeletal Class I, II, and III malocclusions using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
methodsA total of 252 individuals (84 per group; Class I, II, and III) aged 14-35 years were included. CBCT axial and sagittal slices were analyzed to measure alveolar bone thickness at three root levels (cervical, middle, and apical thirds). Dehiscence and fenestration were diagnosed according to standard criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Tukey's HSD, and chi-square tests, with significance set at p < 0.05.
resultsNo statistically significant difference in bone thickness was observed among Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions. The presence of dehiscence was found to be more common in Class I and Class III individuals than in Class II individuals (p = 0.029). The presence of fenestration was higher in individuals with Class III and Class II malocclusions than in individuals with Class I malocclusions (p = 0.032).
conclusionsAlveolar bone thickness of anterior teeth did not differ among skeletal malocclusion groups. Nevertheless, the prevalence of dehiscence and fenestration varied significantly, with Class II showing less dehiscence, and Class II and III demonstrating higher fenestration. These findings highlight the need for careful CBCT-based assessment of alveolar morphology in orthodontic planning, particularly for camouflage treatments involving anterior tooth movement.
