Pentraxin-3 levels in gingival crevicular fluid during orthodontic tooth movement in young and adult patients.
Article in The Angle orthodontist, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
objectivesTo measure the levels of pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in orthodontic young and adult patients in the first 2 weeks after the orthodontic appliance to determine whether those changes occur during orthodontic treatment and if those values could be the expression of an inflammatory state. MATERIALS AND
methodsGCF samples were collected with paper strips from 16 orthodontic young patients and 13 orthodontic adult patients from an upper canine requiring distalization as a test tooth. A contralateral canine was used as a control tooth. The absorbed volume was eluted in 100 µL phosphate-buffered saline (pH = 7.2). PTX-3 levels in GCF were determined using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, and the results were expressed in ng/mL.
resultsThe results showed an increase of GCF levels of PTX-3 from 1 hour before the orthodontic appliance to a maximum at 24 hours, followed by a decrease in both groups of adult and young patients.
conclusionsThe results suggest PTX-3 involvement in periodontal orthodontic remodeling and the aseptic inflammation induced by the orthodontic forces.
