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
purposeSurface characteristics of orthodontic miniscrews might affect survival rates and removal torque values (RTVs). This experimental study aimed to clarify whether and why a microporous or nanoporous surface promotes higher survival rates and RTVs for orthodontic miniscrews.
methodsUsing a split-leg design, one set each of nonporous (sham control, n = 24) and microporous (control, n = 6), and three sets of nanoporous (experimental, n = 6 per set) miniscrews were implanted in the tibias of 12 New Zealand rabbits and immediately loaded with 1.5 N nickel-titanium coil springs for 12 weeks. The surface morphology, micropores, and nanotube diameters of the miniscrews were examined using scanning electron microscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The surface composition and thickness were determined using Auger electron spectroscopy. The survival rates and RTVs of each set were assessed.
resultsThe nanoporous miniscrews had higher survival rates, RTVs (p < 0.001), and thicker nanotube oxide thicknesses (p < 0.001) than the nonporous and microporous miniscrews. The nonporous and microporous miniscrews had no nanotube structures. The surface oxide composition was titanium dioxide (TiO
conclusionNanoporous surfaces promoted higher survival rates and RTVs than microporous miniscrews. This could be due to TiO
