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

objectiveThe purpose of this experimental study was to investigate in depth the effects of osteopenia related to the rate, as well as to the quality of orthodontic tooth movement, by combining experimental ovariectomy and molar movement in rats.

methodsTwenty-four six-month-old female Wistar rats were used in this study. The animals were divided into two groups consisting of twelve animals each: Group A (control group) was subjected to orthodontic movement of the upper right first molars. Group B was subjected to orthodontic movement of the upper right first molar following bilateral ovariectomy. Ovariectomy was performed on the first experimental day and the upper right first molars were subjected to orthodontic forces 60 days post-ovariectomy, lasting for 14 days. RESULTS AND

conclusionDirect inspections of the upper jaws, measurements of orthodontic movement of the upper right first molars of Group A and B, as well as histologic examinations of the alveolar bone in the upper right and left first molar regions, showed that osteopenia affects the rate of orthodontic tooth movement, as well as the quality of alveolar bone remodeling, in ovariectomized rats. Specifically, in the ovariectomized animals the alveolar bone of the non-loaded side showed extensive internal resorption, with large marrow cavities, whereas the alveolar bone of the loaded side was dense with almost no marrow cavity and frontal resorption on the surface. It appears that alveolar remodeling after the exertion of orthodontic forces follows the general paradigm of osteoporotic bone remodeling after loading.
