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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the effects of various intrusion modes on the movement trends and stress distribution of lower teeth at different stages in lower central incisors during deep overbite in mixed dentition treated with clear aligners.

methodsThree-dimensional finite element models were constructed to represent lower central incisors at different stages of Demirjian classification (stages F, G and H). Three protocols were designed to intrude lower central incisors (intrusion modes I, II and III). The analysis was conducted on the movement trends and stress distribution of the lower teeth.

resultsRegardless of root developmental stages of lower central incisors, the trend of mesial and labial movements were observed during the intrusion process. The stress in the periodontal membranes was primarily concentrated at the labial neck and lingual root apex of the lower anterior incisors. At stages F and G, intrusion mode III exhibited the most obvious movement trend along the intrusion direction. Conversely, intrusion mode I demonstrated the most significant movement trend in the stage H.

conclusionThe displacement observed along the Z-axis (intrusion direction) was greatest for Mode III at stages F/G, and greatest for Mode I at stage H. Therefore, the factors such as the development of teeth roots, intrusion amount and modes should be fully considered for a reasonable design in clinic, which could improve the treatment efficiency.
