Dynamic alternations of RANKL/OPG ratio expressed by cementocytes in response to orthodontic‑induced external apical root resorption in a rat model.

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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the alterations in the formation of cementocytes in response to orthodontic forces and to evaluate the contribution of these cells in the biological changes of tooth movement and associated root resorption. A total of 90 Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the control, high force, and low force groups. Intrusion forces of 10 and 50 g were applied on the rat molar to induce tooth intrusion. The tooth movement was observed from 0 to 14 days by micro‑computed tomography, bone histometric analysis, tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase staining, as well as reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence staining assays. The results suggested that under low force conditions, osteoclasts were distributed at a higher frequency on the bone side than on the root side. Under high force conditions, both sides suffered osteoclast infiltration. In the low force group, the cementocytes exhibited downregulated sclerostin (
