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

Objectives: Alveolar decortication (AD) is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in the orthodontic office as an intervention to accelerate tooth movement. There is a gap in the literature evaluating the earlier and delayed responses after AD using lighter orthodontic forces in a rat model. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of AD in the amount of orthodontic tooth movement and on alveolar bone remodelling in a rodent model, after 7 or 14 days. Materials and methods: A total of 32 15-week-old male Wistar rats were used in four treatment groups: (1) orthodontic spring only (7 days), (2) orthodontic spring only + AD (7 days), (3) orthodontic spring only (14 days), and (4) orthodontic spring only + AD (14 days). A closed coil nickel-titanium spring delivering 8-10 g of force was used to move the molar mesially. Alveolar decortication was done using a high speed, quarter round bur adjacent to the left first maxillary molar, on the palatal alveolar bone. At each endpoint, rats were sacrificed and microfocus computed tomography and histological analysis were performed. Results: The spring + AD group presented with a significant increase in the rate of tooth movement when compared with spring only group, 7 and 14 days after the beginning of the experiments. In addition, the spring + AD group had a significant decrease in bone volume and tissue density and a significant increase in the trabecular spacing and the number of osteoclasts at 7 and 14 days. Furthermore, a fibrous tissue was found to replace the alveolar bone in the spring + AD group at day 14. Conclusion: Alveolar decortications enhanced bone remodelling around the tooth movement region and could be used as an adjunct surgical procedure to accelerate the rate of tooth movement.
