1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Corticision is a common technique to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement; however, not much is known about the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of alveolar tissue remodeling after corticision in a rat model of tooth movement (TM) by analyzing the differential transcriptome. A total of 36 male rats were equally divided into TM and TM with corticision (TM+C) groups. Alveolar bone response was examined using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Osteoclasts and osteoblasts were quantified on tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and Goldner's trichrome staining. The transcriptomes of alveolus around the left maxillary first molar were determined on RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), and the expression of selected differentially expressed genes (DEGs) validated on quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Immunohistochemical examination of alveolar tissue was performed to examine the expressions of correlative proteins of the selected signaling pathway in the TM and TM+C groups. The ratio of bone volume to total volume (BV/TV), and the trabecular number (Tb.N) were significantly decreased, while the movement distance and the trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was significantly increased in the TM+C group. However, no significant between-group difference in trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) was observed. On histomorphometric analysis, a significant increase in the number of osteoclasts and increased bone resorption was observed in the TM+C group. A total of 399 DEGs were identified on RNA-SEq. Eleven selected genes were confirmed on qRT-PCR, which included components of the Ras signaling pathway. Four proteins of the Ras signaling pathway showed a higher expression in the TM+C group. Our findings indicate that corticision may speed up orthodontic tooth movement by accelerating osteoclastogenesis mediated via the Ras signaling pathway.
