Determination of pretreatment and patient cooperation factors affecting treatment outcome in orthodontic treatment with premolar extraction: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. 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
backgroundThe objective was to evaluate the outcomes of orthodontic treatment following two or four first premolar extractions using the ABO-OGS and potential influencing factors.
methodsThis study included 100 patients treated with upper two-premolar extractions (TPE) (mean age: 14.7 ± 2.3) and 85 patients treated with four-premolar extractions (FPE) (mean age: 14.5 ± 3.0). Pretreatment parameters, cephalometric radiographs, and dental casts were evaluated. Patient cooperation was assessed based on regular appointment attendance, elastic use, recurrent bracket failures, and oral hygiene.
resultsThere were no significant differences between TPE and FPE groups in pretreatment age, case complexity according to ABO-DI, or treatment duration. Total OGS scores were comparable between the two groups; however, marginal ridges were better aligned in the TPE group (p = 0.005). In both groups, pretreatment lip properties and additional mechanical requirement were associated with the total OGS score (p < 0.05). Additionally, in the TPE group, inadequate lip-closure and curve of Spee depth affected the total OGS score, whereas U1-PP angle had an impact in the FPE group (p < 0.05). In the TPE group, patients who didn’t attend appointments regularly had higher interproximal contact scores, and those who didn’t use elastics regularly had higher total OGS and occlusal relationship scores (p < 0.05). In the FPE group, patients with recurrent bracket failures had higher total OGS, tooth alignment, and occlusal relationship scores (p < 0.05). Poor oral hygiene was associated with higher occlusal contact scores (p < 0.05).
conclusionsPretreatment factors, including incisor proclination, lip properties, additional mechanical requirement, and patient cooperation during treatment, influenced treatment outcomes in patients treated with TPE and FPE.
