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
In recent years, interest in esthetics has increased considerably, resulting in a growing demand for invisible orthodontic appliances, particularly among adolescents and adults. Bracketless orthodontic treatment is an advanced orthodontic approach that uses coated archwires and composite resin, applied with precision using three-dimensional technology. This method may offer an effective alternative to conventional bracket-based systems in certain cases. This single-case report described a clinical case of skeletal and dental Class I malocclusion characterized by moderate lower dental crowding (4.5 mm); midline shift; a dental crossbite involving teeth 14, 15, and 25; and an increased mandibular incisor inclination (lower incisor to mandibular plane = 104°). This condition was managed using the three-dimensional bracketless orthodontic treatment technique. This technique represents an advanced esthetic approach designed for individuals who prioritize dental appearance. It may reduce anterior teeth proclination by acting from the lingual side and may shorten treatment duration in cases of mild to moderate crowding, ensuring faster and more efficient outcomes.
