Use of a Modified Transpalatal Arch to Correct a Severely Rotated Maxillary Incisor in the Mixed Dentition: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
An erupted mesiodens can cause displacement and rotation of the maxillary incisors, which may impact a child's smile aesthetics and their confidence. This case report presents a non-compliance method for correcting maxillary incisor rotations in the mixed dentition using a modified transpalatal arch in combination with a sectional fixed appliance. The patient was a nine-year-old male who presented in the mixed dentition with a Class I incisor relationship on a Class I skeletal base with an erupted mesiodens, upper arch crowding, and severe (110°) rotation of the right maxillary central incisor. De-rotation of the incisor was accomplished within 17 weeks with preservation of periodontal health and gingival aesthetics. The clinical significance of this case report is that the modified transpalatal arch offers a simple and compliance-free approach for correcting severe maxillary incisor rotations and is a practical alternative to removable appliances in the mixed dentition.
