Self-reported pain after orthodontic treatments: a randomized controlled study on the effects of two follow-up procedures.
Trial report in European journal of orthodontics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03816943 (The Influence of Communication After Placement of Orthodontic Fixed Appliances on Pain, Anxiety and Oral Health Quality of Life Among Malaysian Population), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess the effects of a follow-up text message and a telephone call after bonding on participants' self-reported level of pain. MATERIALS AND
methodsEighty-four participants were randomly assigned to one of three trial arms. Randomization was performed by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics of IRCCS G.Gaslini. Participants were enrolled from patients with a permanent dentition who were beginning fixed no extraction treatment at the Orthodontic Department, Gaslini Hospital. Participants completed baseline questionnaires to assess their levels of pain prior to treatment. After the initial appointment, participants were completed a pain questionnaire at the same time, daily, for 7 days. The first group, served as control, did not receive any post-procedure communication; the second group received a structured text message; and the third group received a structured telephone call. Participants were blinded to group assignment. LIMITATIONS: A larger sample size should have been considered in order to increase the ability to generalize this study's results.
resultsParticipants in both the telephone call group and the text message group reported lower level of pain than participants in the control group with a larger and more consistent effect for the telephone call group. Most participants reported a higher level of pain during the first 48 hours post-bonding. The analgesic's consumption significantly correlated with the level of pain during the previous 24 hours. Female participants appeared to be more sensitive to pain than male participants.
conclusionsA telephone follow-up after orthodontic treatment may be an effective procedure to reduce participants' level of pain. PROTOCOL: The research protocol was approved by the Italian Comitato Etico Regionale della Liguria-sezione 3^ c/o IRCCS- Istituto G.Gaslini 845/2014. REGISTRATION: 182 Reg 2014, 16/09/2014 Comitato Etico Regione Liguria, Sez.3.
