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
Anterior open bite is a prevalent malocclusion that can cause occlusal dysfunction and markedly reduce masticatory efficiency. This case report describes the successful management of a 37-year-old female with an anterior open bite secondary to excessive vertical development in the molar region and clockwise mandibular rotation. The treatment combined clear aligners with implant anchorage for molar intrusion, alongside S-shaped double-arm root control attachments to facilitate the uprighting of severely tilted teeth. Following the placement of four implants in the maxillary posterior region, the therapy was systematically carried out in four distinct phases: molar intrusion, premolar intrusion, correction of mandibular anterior tooth axial inclination, and final occlusal refinement. After 30 months, both the occlusal relationship and facial profile were significantly improved, with complete resolution of the anterior open bite and establishment of normal overbite and overjet. Cephalometric analysis confirmed favorable outcomes, including counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. This case highlights the efficacy of an implant-assisted clear aligner protocol augmented by specialized attachments for managing complex anterior open bite, thereby expanding the scope of clear aligner therapy.
