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

The applicability of the golden proportion and gingival aesthetic line harmony in natural anterior dentitions remains controversial across different populations. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the presence of the golden proportion and gingival aesthetic line characteristics in maxillary anterior teeth among 200 adults using standardized digital photographic analysis. Mesiodistal tooth width ratios were calculated and compared with the theoretical golden ratio (0.618), while gingival zenith positions and gingival line patterns were also assessed. The results showed that both lateral-to-central incisor and canine-to-lateral incisor ratios significantly deviated from the golden proportion, whereas Class I gingival aesthetic line patterns were more consistently observed. Thus, we show that natural anterior aesthetics are not governed by strict mathematical proportions, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment planning over formula-based approaches.
