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

Introduction: The morphologic characteristics associated with maxillary canine impaction have been extensively investigated at the maxillary level, whereas the contribution of mandibular arch morphology remains less explored. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mandibular arch form in patients with impacted maxillary canines. Methods: The present study included 96 normodivergent Class I subjects aged 10-12 years, divided into three groups: patients with buccally impacted maxillary canines ( Results: Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant overall effect of group membership on mandibular morphologic variables ( Conclusions: Mandibular arch morphology differs between patients with impacted maxillary canines and subjects with physiologic eruption. Within the selected normodivergent sample, these differences were observed without significant intergroup differences in vertical divergence. Distinct mandibular morphologic characteristics were associated with palatal and buccal canine impaction, suggesting that mandibular arch assessment may complement conventional diagnostic evaluation in patients with impacted maxillary canines.
