Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) following a piezocision-assisted versus conventional orthodontic treatments: a randomized controlled trial in adults.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore patient-related outcomes measures (PROMs) of piezocision-assisted orthodontic treatment compared to a conventional orthodontic treatment using customized appliance. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-four adult patients requiring orthodontic treatment for mild-to-moderate overcrowding in both jaws were randomly assigned to a test group, treated with a piezocision-assisted orthodontic treatment, or to a control group, where piezocision was not applied. The patient-related outcomes were recorded using a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS). Daily analgesic consumption and pain level were also recorded following the placement of the orthodontic appliance in both groups and after the piezocision procedure in the test group. Moreover, levels of apprehension and satisfaction were also assessed in both groups.
resultsIn the piezocision group, over the 7-day period, paracetamol consumption was comparable after the placement of the orthodontic appliance and after the piezocision surgery. Pain levels after the orthodontic and the surgical procedure decreased with time (p < 0.0001) but remained globally higher after piezocision (p = 0.0056). Significantly, more patients of the piezocision group reported that they would undergo the treatment again (p = 0.033) and that they greatly appreciated the duration of treatment (p = 0.0008). However, the level of apprehension was significantly higher in the piezocision group compared to the test group (p = 0.012).
conclusionsAlthough, the degree of apprehension before the surgery and higher pain level in the piezocision group, PROMs emphasized similar pain killer consumption in both group and revealed high acceptance and satisfaction with piezocision approach. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The benefit of piezocision-assisted orthodontic treatment seems to be relevant from a patient perspective.
