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
Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common clinical problem in orthodontics, and treating it becomes more challenging when a unilateral posterior crossbite exists. Different treatment modalities have been used, including slow maxillary expansion (SME), rapid maxillary expansion (RME), surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE), and corticotomy-assisted expansion. The type of treatment depends mainly on the patient's skeletal maturity. In this case report, we describe the treatment of a 20-year-old female patient with unilateral posterior crossbite using corticotomy-assisted expansion with fixed orthodontic appliances. The crossbite was corrected, and normal overbite and overjet were achieved with Class I canine and molar relationships. The duration of correction of the crossbite was relatively shorter, and periodontal health was maintained without any complications. The technique of selective alveolar bone corticotomy is considered a less invasive procedure when compared to SARPE and MARPE, and it may provide an efficient treatment option in cases of adult unilateral maxillary transverse deficiency.
