Outcome this study informs	Pooled effect	Evidence	Certainty
Inter-second deciduous molar distance (ISDM) transverse change Slow maxillary expansion (SME) with spring-based Leaf Expander vs Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with conventional Hyrax- or Haas-type expander · Change from baseline (T0) to post-treatment (T1), at completion of active expansion	SMD 0.19 [-1.47, 1.86]	2 studies	Very low
Inter-first permanent molar distance (IFPM) transverse change Slow maxillary expansion (SME) with spring-based Leaf Expander vs Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with conventional Hyrax- or Haas-type expander · Change from baseline (T0) to post-treatment (T1), at completion of active expansion	SMD -0.17 [-0.56, 0.21]	3 studies	Very low
Basal maxillary width (BMW) transverse change Slow maxillary expansion (SME) with spring-based Leaf Expander vs Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with conventional Hyrax- or Haas-type expander · Change from baseline (T0) to post-treatment (T1), at completion of active expansion	SMD -0.34 [-0.77, 0.08]	2 studies	Very low
