Soft-Tissue-Focused Orthodontics in Patients With Stage IV Periodontitis: Segmented Arch Technique and Skeletal Anchorage: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Orthodontic treatment in patients with advanced periodontitis is often considered high-risk due to impaired periodontal anchorage and increased susceptibility to treatment-related damage. This report presents a 60-year-old woman with stage IV periodontitis, upper anterior protrusion (overjet 7.5 mm), crowding, and advanced vertical bone loss. Treatment with a maxillary fixed appliance and skeletal anchorage over 9 months enabled intrusion and retraction of the anterior teeth, closure of a lateral diastema, and reduction of overjet, achieving functional and aesthetic improvement without compromising periodontal support. Orthodontic treatment is achievable and effective in patients in later adulthood with advanced periodontitis. Using only small, segmented appliances with a controlled force vector guided by skeletal anchorage allows controlled and secure anterior tooth movement. Considering the incisor/lip interaction according to the FAOP enables reliable tooth movements, improving function, aesthetics, and long-term tooth preservation.
