Effects of different settings for 940 nm diode laser on expanded suture in rats.
Article in The Angle orthodontist, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 evaluate the effects of the Indium Gallium Arsenide Phosphoride (InGaAsP) diode laser at different energy levels on orthopedically expanded midpalatal sutures of rats. MATERIALS AND
methodsEighty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: a control group and low-, moderate-, and high-level laser groups with amounts of energy irradiated at 0 J, 18 J, 42 J, and 60 J, respectively. Each group was divided into two subgroups (n = 10) according to the schedule of sacrifice (7 and 21 days). Laser application (940 ± 10 nm, 0.1 W) was completed twice weekly until sacrifice. The number of osteoblasts (OB), osteocytes (OC), and vessels (V); area of connective tissue (CT); inflammation (IN); and newly formed bone (NB); as well as the ratio of newly formed bone to the total bone area (N/T) were evaluated statistically at a significance level of
resultsFor the low-level laser group, OB, NB, and N/T were significantly higher, and CT was lower, on both the 7th and 21st days. The amount of OC was significantly higher in the low-level laser group compared with the control group on the 7th day and the control and high-level laser groups on the 21st day. The IN was significantly higher for the high-level group on the 21st day compared with other groups. Both the moderate-level and high-level laser groups possessed fewer vessels than the low-level laser group on the 21st day.
conclusionsThe InGaAsP laser at the low dosage induced a favorable effect on bone formation in the orthopedically expanded midpalatal suture of rats.
