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

Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion is a type of malocclusion that significantly impacts the psychological health of adolescents. The key to treating Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion lies in targeting the peak pubertal growth period and fully utilizing the mandible's growth potential. We present the case of a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion, characterized by a severe overjet of 15 mm, managed through a two-phase orthodontic treatment. Phase I of the treatment involved maxillary expansion to eliminate mandibular growth restrictions and retract the proclined anterior teeth. Phase II comprised comprehensive orthodontics with the extraction of four premolars to achieve further anterior retraction, improve the convex soft tissue profile, and establish a harmonious occlusion. After 25 months of this two-phase treatment, significant improvement in the soft tissue profile was observed, with effective anterior retraction, well-aligned dentition, and functional occlusion.
