Correlation between craniofacial asymmetry and mandibular canine impaction in adolescents: A cross-sectional cephalometric study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Mandibular canine impaction is an uncommon eruption disturbance, and its relationship with craniofacial asymmetry in adolescents is not well established. This study evaluated the correlation between craniofacial asymmetry and unilateral mandibular canine impaction in 60 adolescents (12-18 years), including 30 impaction cases and 30 matched controls. Lateral and posteroanterior cephalograms were used to assess mandibular midline deviation, ramal height asymmetry, mandibular body length difference, and gonial angle discrepancy. Intergroup comparisons were performed using independent sample t-tests, and associations were analyzed using Pearson correlation (p < 0.05). Significantly higher asymmetry values were observed in the impaction group, with mandibular midline deviation and body length discrepancy showing the strongest correlation, indicating asymmetry as a potential predictor for eruption disturbances.
