“…The majority of articles in the biomedical literature, including orthodontics, tend to report a significant or beneficial treatment effect, whereas negative, null or non-significant findings are less likely to be published (von Elm et al, 2003, Koletsi et al, 2009). This phenomenon has become known as publication bias and has several implications associated with potentially distorted evidence as only a biased subsample towards positive effects is readily available for research synthesis (Egger et al, 2001).…”
