Effectiveness of vibrational forces on orthodontic treatment : A randomized, controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of orofacial orthopedics = Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie : Organ/official journal Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kieferorthopadie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 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.
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
aimAcceleDent® Aura (OrthoAccel® Technologies, Bellaire, TX, USA) is a class II medical device with U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval that uses SoftPulse Technology™ to increase the speed of tooth movement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of vibrational forces on the rate of canine distalization.
methodsA total of 20 patients (10 boys and 10 girls) who had class II division 1 malocclusion or severe crowding and indicated first premolar extractions for treatment were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: 8 in the control group and 12 in the study group. Three-dimensional digital models were taken just before canine distalization and after space closure using the 3Shape TRIOS® R700 (3Shape Inc., Copenhagen, Denmark) device. Linear measurements between molars and canines were evaluated. The results were assessed with SPSS 23.0 program (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).
resultsOne subject was excluded from the study group due to insufficient oral hygiene and poor patient compliance. Tooth movement rates were 1.06 mm/month for mandibular and maxillary canine teeth in the control group. In the study group, tooth movement rates were 1.24 mm/month for maxillary canines and 1.09 mm/month for mandibular canines. These differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
conclusionAcceleDent® Aura is an easy-to-use device; however, in our study its application did not have any positive effects on canine retraction rates.
