Open Bite With Short Root Anomaly: 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
The present case report aimed to illustrate the orthodontic therapy management in an 18-year-old Caucasian male with a rare open bite condition with a short root anomaly. An 18-year-old male presented with an anterior and lateral open bite, difficulty chewing, and poor oral hygiene. Radiographic examination revealed short roots on the maxillary anteriors and premolars, consistent with a short root anomaly. The patient was diagnosed with an anterior open bite associated with a short root anomaly and a history of scleroderma. A non-surgical orthodontic treatment was performed using segmental mechanics and an extrusion archwire. After 22 months of treatment, the open bite was successfully closed, achieving Class I molar and canine relationships and improved facial esthetics without significant root resorption. The coexistence of an anterior open bite and short root anomaly complicates orthodontic management due to the risk of root resorption. The case demonstrates that an anterior open bite with short root anomaly can be effectively managed using a conservative orthodontic approach with careful force control and follow-up, achieving stable and esthetic results.
