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

This report describes an innovative dynamic computer-guided piezocision technique that integrates preoperative digital planning with real-time intraoperative navigation to accelerate orthodontic treatment while minimizing complications. A 24-year-old female patient who requested short-term orthodontic treatment underwent a minimally invasive, flapless corticotomy using a dynamic system. Preoperative optical scanning and cone-beam computed tomography were performed for comprehensive three-dimensional surgical planning. Intraoperatively, reference trackers were fixed and calibration was performed, enabling precise guidance. A conventional scalpel, adapted with a drill-tag, was employed to execute fully guided soft tissue incisions, and a piezoelectric cutting insert was calibrated for corticotomy cuts. The dynamic navigation system provided continuous real-time feedback on instrument position during the surgical procedure, guiding the surgeon regarding location, depth, and angulation, while ensuring optimal irrigation to reduce thermal risks. The fully guided dynamic piezocision technique enabled the execution of corticotomies following the planned cuts without surgical complications such as damage to dental roots or periodontal tissues. The dynamic approach allowed intraoperative adjustments and improved irrigation, reducing the risk of thermal injury. Fully guided dynamic piezocision may enhance surgical accuracy and safety compared to traditional methods by combining preoperative digital planning with real-time dynamic navigation.
