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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the risk of potential root and nerve damage in planning the insertion of paramedian miniscrews without radiological information. Study design: The study included CBCT and intra-oral scan (IOS) records of 60 subjects (28 males, 32 females) featuring normal transverse palate dimension (Group A = 30 subjects, mean age 20.5 ± 4.7) and skeletal maxillary constriction (Group B = 30 subjects, mean age 21.9 ± 5.1). Two miniscrews (Spider Screws Regular Plus Konic - HDC Srl, Vicenza, Italy), featuring 2 mm in diameter and 9 mm in length were virtually inserted using only the.stl IOS file following established clinical guidelines (T-Zone). Specific linear measurements were registered to calculate the distance between the miniscrews and both incisors' roots and the naso-palatine duct after integrating CBCT images; same measurements were performed after adjusting the position with the aid of CBCT. All data were analyzed for comparison between both procedures and groups. Results: Safe distances were recorded between miniscrews and incisors' roots in both groups ( Conclusion: The present findings would discourage planning or inserting miniscrews in the paramedian region without radiological information (CBCT) in subjects with skeletal maxillary constricted.
