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
backgroundUnderstanding the relationship between incisor inclination, Collum angle, and alveolar bone thickness is crucial for accurate orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study is one of the first to assess the Collum angle and buccal and lingual bone plate thickness of maxillary and mandibular central incisors with tooth inclination on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 112 CBCT scans of the maxilla and 112 CBCT scans of the mandible were three-dimensionally reconstructed using Ez3D-I version 4.1 software. The Collum angle and the labial and lingual bone plate thickness were measured on CBCT scans. The U1-palatal plane angle and the incisor mandibular plane angle (IMPA) were used to determine the inclination of maxillary and mandibular central incisors, respectively. Accordingly, the patients were assigned to three groups of low, normal, and high inclination. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni tests (α = 0.05).
resultsThe mean value of the Collum angle was significantly different among the three groups in both the maxilla and mandible (P < 0.001). The smallest value was recorded in the high inclination group, and the largest value was recorded in the low inclination group. The difference in labial and lingual bone plate thickness was significant among the three groups at the apex of maxillary central incisors, and at the apex and mid-root of mandibular central incisors (P < 0.05).
conclusionPatients with highly inclined maxillary and mandibular central incisors had a significantly smaller Collum angle and vice versa. Tooth inclination had a significant effect on labial and lingual bone plate thickness at the apex of maxillary central incisors, and at the apex and mid-root of mandibular central incisors. Orthodontists should carefully evaluate these parameters during treatment planning to minimize the risk of complications such as root resorption and cortical bone perforation.
