The most influential cephalometric factors affecting variations in the nasolabial angle: A cross-sectional regression study.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 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
Background: This study aims to evaluate the most influential cephalometric values affecting variations in the nasolabial angle among a sample of Peruvian individuals. Material and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed 111 lateral head radiographs from individuals aged 15 to 40 years for cephalometric evaluation. Two trained and calibrated researchers measured various cephalometric parameters, including the nasolabial angle, maxillary central incisor inclination (I-NA, UIPP), maxillary position (SNA, SNB, ANB), upper lip thickness (ULT), palatal plane (PP), and occlusal plane (OP) using specialized measurement software. Variables related to affiliation were also assessed. Shapiro-Wilk test and multiple linear regression analyses were performed with significance at p < 0.05. Results: Age has a significant effect on the nasolabial angle (p = 0.017), with the angle increasing by 0.45° for each year of age. The position of the upper incisor (I-NA) also plays a significant role (p = 0.006); specifically, for every millimeter that the upper incisor moves forward, the nasolabial angle decreases by 1.94°. Additionally, the inclination of the upper incisor (UIPP) significantly influences the angle as well (p = 0.040), resulting in a decrease of 0.43° in the angle for every 1° increase in inclination. Furthermore, upper lip thickness (ULT) has a significant impact on the nasolabial angle (p = 0.002); with every millimeter increase in labial thickness, the nasolabial angle decreases by 1.57°. Conclusions: The nasolabial angle is primarily influenced by age, the position and inclination of the upper incisor, and the thickness of the upper lip. Orthodontists should consider this information when planning their treatments.
