Exploration of multidimensional associations between craniomaxillofacial and dental arch structures.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundThe developmental patterns of craniomaxillofacial structures and dental arch structure represent a central concern in the fields of orthodontics and craniofacial surgery. Understanding the associations between these anatomical features is crucial for accurate orthodontic diagnosis and effective treatment planning. This study aimed to explore the associations between craniomaxillofacial structures and dental arch structures, with the goal of enhancing diagnostic precision and facilitating the shift from experience-based to evidence-based clinical practice in orthodontics.
methodsThe study analyzed 77 craniomaxillofacial and dental arch variables collected from 500 patients using multivariate statistical methods, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and canonical correlation analysis.
resultsCorrelation analysis revealed significant associations between dental arch measurements and multiple craniomaxillofacial measurements, including facial height measurements (such as chin height), facial width measurements (such as minimum frontal width), and mandibular body length. Canonical correlation analysis identified five pairs of canonical variates, indicating a coordinated pattern of vertical development between craniomaxillofacial structures and dental arch structures. Facial width, mandibular plane angle, and mandibular measurements were found to influence both the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and basal arches.
conclusionsSignificant correlations were identified between craniomaxillofacial structure and dental arch structure. Facial width, facial height, and mandibular body length were found to have strong effects on dental arch structure, particularly in the maxillary region (notably at the first molar). The craniomaxillofacial-dental arch system constitutes a complex, multilevel interactive network, suggesting that comprehensive orthodontic assessment should consider the relationships among these anatomical systems.
