The Effects of Low-frequency Vibration on Aligner Treatment Duration: A Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an orthodontic tooth movement acceleration device (AcceleDent, OrthoAccel Technologies, Houston, Texas) when used during an aligner treatment. Materials and Methods: Adult patients who began an aligner treatment (Lineo, Micerium Lab, Avegno, Italy) were allocated to two treatment groups. The first one (Group A), with a 7-day aligner change regimen, used the AcceleDent device for 20 min per day, whereas the second one (Group B) changed the aligners every 14 days and did not use any device. The registered outcomes were the possibility of completing the treatment, the number of aligners needed and treatment duration in the two groups. Moreover, we assessed patients' perception of pain during the first week of treatment. Results: Twenty-four patients were allocated to Group A or B depending on the acceptance of AcceleDent use. Patients which used AcceleDent (Group A) completed the treatment using each aligner for fewer days than those belonging to Group B (9.0 ± 1.0 and 15.4 ± 1.2 days, respectively) ( Conclusions: This controlled clinical trial shows that is possible to apply a 7-day change regimen together with AcceleDent use and successfully complete an aligner treatment with a significant saving of time when compared to a standard 14-days change regimen. Finally, the use of this device allowed reduction in pain perception during the orthodontic treatment.
