Does Lip Change Following Premolar Extraction Differ in Patients with High and Normal Vertical Growth Patterns?
Article in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 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
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between incisor retraction and upper and lower lip repositioning in patients with high and normal vertical growth patterns (NVP), and to assess whether vertical growth pattern influences soft tissue changes following extraction treatments. Methods: Pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 79 patients who underwent extraction of two or four first premolars were analyzed. Patients were divided into a [high vertical pattern (HVP); Frankfort-mandibular plane angle (FMA) >30°, n=49] and a NVP; 22< FMA ≤30°, n=30) group. Horizontal and vertical changes in the lips, labiomental fold, and lip strain were measured, and correlations between these changes and incisor movements were assessed. Results: Upper lip retraction was greater in the HVP group (2.86 mm, p<0.05) than in the NVP group (1.97 mm, not significant). Upper lip height decreased significantly in both groups, with a slightly greater decrease in the NVP group (p<0.001). Upper lip strain decreased in both groups, especially in the HVP group (p<0.001). Incisor retraction was strongly correlated with upper-lip changes in both groups, and with lower-lip and labiomental-fold repositioning in the NVP group. Conclusion: Soft tissue response to incisor retraction varies with vertical growth pattern, with greater upper lip retraction in HVP patients. Vertical growth patterns should be considered for optimal soft tissue outcomes.
