1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Orthopaedic treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion in children is critical because it can prevent potential surgical procedures. Initial management of class III malocclusion helps to avoid the harmful effects of facial deformity. Hence, we present four cases on the early orthopaedic therapy of class III malocclusion using rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and a face mask. All these cases presented with class III malocclusion, which included mid-face deficit and an anterior cross bite. All of them were treated with a combination of RME and facemask therapy. Combined skeletal and dental improvements resulted in satisfactory treatment of class III malocclusion.
