Mandibular Molar Distalization Using Interradicular Microimplants and Indirect 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
The nonsurgical management of skeletal Class III malocclusion is often challenging, particularly in adolescent or noncompliant patients. Still, temporary anchorage devices have expanded the limits of dentoalveolar compensation by providing reliable skeletal anchorage for distalization of posterior teeth. This case report describes an 18‑year‑old female with skeletal Class III malocclusion, a hypodivergent facial pattern, an anterior crossbite, and compensated mandibular incisors, who was treated with a nonextraction camouflage protocol using microimplant‑supported indirect anchorage to distalize the mandibular molars. The mandibular dentition was distalized with control of the vertical dimension, and clockwise rotation of the mandibular arch, together with mild incisor intrusion, contributed to anterior bite closure while maintaining the compensated inclination of the lower incisors. In this context, Class III correction with microimplant‑supported indirect anchorage for mandibular molar distalization proved to be an effective nonsurgical camouflage alternative to orthognathic surgery, ensuring adequate anterior anchorage control, favorable vertical facial proportions, and an improved occlusal relationship in a carefully selected borderline case.
