Effectiveness of a myofunctional therapy program in the treatment of mouth breathing in patients with dental malocclusion: a pilot clinical trial.
Trial report in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo verify the effectiveness of an orofacial myofunctional program aimed at treating respiratory function in adults with dental malocclusion.
methodsThirteen adults with Class II malocclusion undergoing orthodontic treatment participated in this pilot study, randomly divided into an experimental group (EG; n=9) and a control group (CG; n=4). Protocols for oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14) and respiratory symptoms were applied. Respiratory function was assessed using the MBGR protocol. Additionally, maximum phonation time (MPT) of /s/, nasal peak inspiratory flow, and nasal airflow analysis using a metallic plate were measured.
resultsAfter the intervention, the EG showed statistically significant improvement in respiratory symptoms (p<0.001), MBGR score (p<0.001), respiratory type (p=0.041), respiratory mode (p=0.029), MPT (p=0.002), and nasal peak inspiratory flow (p=0.002). There were no changes in oral health-related quality of life for either group (p>0.05). Three months later, the EG maintained the results, while the CG showed worsening of respiratory symptoms (p=0.003) and MPT (p=0.013).
conclusionThe orofacial myofunctional therapy program improved respiratory parameters in oral-breathing adults with malocclusion, with no impact on oral health-related quality of life.
