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

The study aimed to assess trials investigating the effect of PBMT on mini-implant stability. Electronic searches of seven databases and manual search were conducted up to May 2020. Randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials evaluating the effect of PBMT on mini-implant stability were included. The risks of bias of individual studies were performed using ROB 2.0 and ROBINS-I-tool based on different study design. Meta-analysis was conducted to compare mini-implant stability exposed to PBMT with control ones at different time points after implantation. Among the 518 records initially identified, seven studies were included in this study. Six studies investigated low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and one study evaluated light-emitting diode (LED) therapy. Two studies were eligible for meta-analysis, which showed that LLLT significantly improved mini-implant stability 60 days after initial implantation (MD - 3.01, 95% CI range [- 4.68, - 1.35], p = 0.0004). High energy density of LLLT began to show beneficial effect on mini-implant stability as early as 3 days after implantation, while the significant effect of low energy density displayed later than 30 days after insertion. LED therapy could improve mini-implant stability after 2 months post-insertion. In conclusion, PBMT appears to be beneficial in ameliorating mini-implant stability. High energy density of LLLT might exert more rapid effect than low energy density. More high-quality clinical trials are needed to further demonstrate PBMT' effects on orthodontic mini-implants.
