Effects of the advanced mandibular spring on mandibular retrognathia treatment: a three-dimensional finite element study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Advanced Mandibular Spring (AMS) was newly developed as a dentofacial orthopedic appliance in conjunctive use of clear aligners to treat Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrognathia in adolescents. This study aimed to launch a biomechanical assessment and evaluate whether the stress patterns generated by AMS promote mandibular growth.
methodsA three-dimensional finite element model was constructed using images of CBCT and spiral CT. The model consisted of craniomaxillofacial bones, articular discs, retrodiscal elastic stratum, masticatory muscle, teeth, periodontal ligament, aligner and AMS. Mechanical effects were analyzed in three types of models: mandibular postural position, mandibular advancement with AMS, and mandibular advancement with only muscular force.
resultsThe stress generated by AMS was distributed to all teeth and periodontal ligament, pushing mandibular teeth forward and maxillary teeth backward. In the temporomandibular joint area, the pressure in the superior and posterior aspects of the condyle was reduced, which conformed to the stress pattern promoting condylar and mandibular growth. Stress distribution became even in the anterior aspect of the condyle and the articular disc. Significant tensile stress was generated in the posterior aspect of the glenoid fossa, which conformed to the stress pattern stimulating the remodeling of the fossa.
conclusionsAMS created a favorable biomechanical environment for treating mandibular retrognathia in adolescents.
