Mandibular Molar Distalization Using Interradicular Microimplants and Direct Anchorage: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Management of skeletal Class III malocclusion using traditional orthodontic mechanics can be challenging because of limited anchorage control and undesirable reciprocal effects. However, the introduction of microimplants allowed a better control of tooth movement, reducing the need for surgical intervention in selected cases. This case report illustrates the effectiveness of direct skeletal anchorage using interradicular microimplants for mandibular molar distalization in the treatment of a skeletal Class III malocclusion. A female patient aged 19 years showing a mandibular prognathism and a normodivergent growth pattern underwent mandibular dentition distalization using a direct anchorage protocol supported by interradicular microimplants. A distalization of the mandibular dentition and a controlled vertical dimension were achieved. The mandibular plane rotated in a counterclockwise pattern, allowing the closure of the anterior bite while maintaining proper inclination of the lower incisors and stable alveolar bone support. Direct anchorage using interradicular microimplants represents an effective non-surgical strategy for camouflage treatment in selected skeletal Class III cases.
