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
Background/purpose: Achieving coordination between maxillary and mandibular arches is critical for establishing stable occlusion. This study evaluated posterior occlusal intercupation and identified predictive factors for normal posterior buccal overjet in skeletal Class III patients following surgical-orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 Class III patients (24 males, 27 females) who underwent bimaxillary surgery and orthodontic treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained at three time points: pre-treatment (T0), pre-surgery (T1), and post-treatment (T2). Maxillary transverse discrepancies and buccolingual inclinations of maxillary and mandibular molars were assessed using Amira® 3D Pro software. Patients were categorized according to posterior buccal overjet at T2 into two groups: Group 1 (normal occlusion) and Group 2 (defective occlusion). Intergroup comparisons and logistic regression were conducted to determine predictive factors. Results: At T0, Group 2 exhibited significantly narrower maxillary arch widths, more maxillary crowding, greater facial divergence, more pronounced maxillary transverse discrepancy (MTD), and increased molar inclinations on the menton non-deviation side compared to Group 1. At T1, molar inclinations were similar between the two groups. At T2, Group 2 continued to exhibit greater facial divergence, a narrower maxillary arch width, and residual MTD. Logistic regression identified the Wits appraisal at T0 and MTD at T1 as significant predictors of post-treatment occlusion. Conclusion: A logistic regression model incorporating the pre-treatment Wits appraisal and pre-surgical MTD could predict posterior occlusal outcomes after surgical-orthodontic treatment in Class III patients.
