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

Extraction versus non-extraction orthodontic treatment remains controversial due to the need to balance occlusion and facial aesthetics. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate diagnostic aids and clinical factors in orthodonic treatment planning. Hence, a cross-sectional KAP survey was conducted among 318 orthodontists and data were analysed using Chi-square tests in SPSS. Data shows that extraction decisions were mainly influenced by crowding, soft tissue parameters, skeletal relationships and periodontal status. Thus, we report the key diagnostic and clinical determinants shaping contemporary extraction practices among Indian orthodontists.
