Prevalence and Predictive Factors of Angle's Class Malocclusion Asymmetries Without Crossbite in Primary School Children: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAngle's dental class asymmetries not associated with crossbite are malocclusions that are often underestimated in pediatric patients. However, they may be associated with alterations in the development of the stomatognathic system.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Angle's class asymmetries without crossbite in primary-school-aged children and to investigate possible associations with perinatal, clinical, and functional variables. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study analyzed a sample of 391 children aged 6 to 11 years, attending a primary school in the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy. Data were systematically collected through both clinical examination and patient history, with the aim of identifying significant correlations with the occurrence of dental asymmetries in the absence of crossbite.
resultsThe results revealed a higher prevalence of occlusal asymmetries associated with factors such as oral breathing, low tongue posture, type of delivery, formula feeding, and systemic diseases during the first three years of life. Advanced carious lesions and inclination of the occlusal plane were significantly associated with asymmetry.
conclusionsThe study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to prevent malocclusions and complex craniofacial dysfunctions later in life.
