Sensitivity analyses of the included articles

(A) D + E space changes in the maxilla on the extraction side. (B) D space changes in the mandible on the extraction side. (C) D + E space changes in the mandible on the extraction side. (D) D + E space differences in the maxilla between the extraction and control sides. (E) D space differences in the mandible between the extraction and control sides. (F) D + E space differences in the mandible between the extraction and control sides. (G) Arch width of the maxilla. (H) Arch length of the maxilla. (I) Arch perimeter of the maxilla. (J) Arch width of the mandible. (K) Arch length of the mandible. (L) Arch perimeter of the mandible. Sensitivity analysis showed that, except for the meta-analysis of D space and D loss, the combined effects did not change after excluding any single study, suggesting that the results were generally reliable
