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
objectiveTo investigate the changes in alveolar bone thickness (ABT), the height of the enamel bone border-alveolar ridge apex (ABH), and alveolar bone area (ABA) of the labial and palatal sides of the maxillary incisor region after orthodontic treatment of adult bimaxillary protrusion.
methodsNinety-eight adult patients with bimaxillary protrusion who underwent orthodontic treatment in our hospital between November 2023 and November 2024 were clinically selected for retrospective study, and patient data were obtained from the medical record system, comparing the widths of the intercuspal space between the cuspids, the width of the space between the first premolar teeth, the width of the space between the second premolar teeth, the convexity of the anterior teeth (UI-SN, UI-NA), and the lip and palate of maxillary incisor region before and after treatment. ABT, ABH, and ABA changes.
resultsComparison of intercuspal width and MP-SN levels before and after treatment in all patients showed no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05). The intercuspal width of the first premolar, intercuspal width of the second premolar, UI-SN and MP-SN were higher than those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The labial cervical, labial mid-root, and labial apical ABT levels of maxillary mesial incisors and lateral incisors were higher than those before treatment, and the palatal cervical, palatal mid-root, and palatal apical ABT levels were lower than those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of labial ABH levels of mesial incisors and lateral incisors before and after treatment (P > 0.05); the levels of palatal ABH of mesial incisors and palatal ABH of lateral incisors were higher than those before treatment, and the levels of palatal ABA of mesial incisors and palatal ABH of lateral incisors were lower than those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
conclusionOrthodontic treatment is effective in adult patients with bimaxillary protrusion, but significant resorption of the alveolar bone on the palatal side of the incisal region occurs after treatment, reducing the amount of alveolar bone in the entire incisal region. Therefore, the long-term effects on periodontal tissues need to be paid attention to.
