Effects of Orthodontic Treatment on Pulp Stone Formation: A Retrospective Study.
Article in BioMed research international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Objective: This retrospective study was aimed at determining the incidence of dental pulp stone formation during fixed orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients who received fixed orthodontic treatment were included in this study. Pre- and posttreatment panoramic radiographs of the patients were examined to identify pulp stones. The data were analyzed using McNemar's and Pearson's chi-square tests to investigate the correlations between having a dental pulp stone and gender, age, treatment type, and duration. Results: Dental pulp stones were detected in 17% of patients on pretreatment panoramic radiographs and 35% of patients on posttreatment panoramic radiographs. The incidence of pulp stones sharply increased in the pre- and posttreatment radiographs (38%) ( Conclusion: Fixed orthodontic treatment may trigger pulp irritation and calcification, resulting in the formation of pulp stones. Although pulp stones have no serious consequences, an orthodontist must consider the probability of pulp stone formation because it can cause difficulties in endodontic treatment.
