Morphogenetic Expression of Genes in Class II Division 2 Malocclusion: A Pedigree Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Introduction The etiology of malocclusion is multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental influences. The literature has shown that neither a single entity, hereditary or genetic factors, nor ecological factors alone are responsible for causing malocclusion; furthermore, constant thumb-sucking and pacifier use, bony anomalies, congenitally missing teeth, oral injury, mouth breathing, etc., often cause malocclusion. Participants were selected from those who reported to the outpatient department of the Karnavati School of Dentistry in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, indicating a clinic-based sampling method. Both hereditary and environmental factors were equally considered as causative factors. This research aims to determine how craniofacial patterns associated with class II division 2 malocclusion are inherited from parents to their children through a pedigree analysis. Methods Patients diagnosed with class II division 2 malocclusion underwent thorough intraoral and extraoral assessments. Cephalometric tracings were included in the study after meeting the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Family trees were created and analyzed using Cyrillic Software. Results A stronger correlation was found between patients and their fathers regarding skeletal and dental measurements. In contrast, the correlation coefficients for skeletal parameters between patient-mother pairs showed highly significant correlations, whereas no statistically significant correlation was found for dental parameters. Conclusion The morphogenetic expression in this study revealed that class II division 2 malocclusion exhibited sexual dimorphism for this specific category. Genetic counseling for parents can aid in early diagnosis and the development of prevention strategies. Mutations that are likely to occur due to the presence or absence of a particular gene or group of genes can be avoided if the prevalence of the specific gene associated with that condition is known.
