Periodontal status following orthodontic mini-screw insertion: A prospective clinical split-mouth study.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAnchorage control is one of the most important determinants of orthodontic treatments. Mini-screws are used to achieve the desired anchorage. Despite all their advantages, there is a possibility that treatment will not be successful due to conditions related to their interaction with the periodontal tissue.
objectiveTo evaluate the status of the periodontal tissue at the sites adjacent to the orthodontic mini-implants.
methodsA total of 34 teeth (17 case and 17 control) in 17 orthodontic patients requiring a mini-screw in the buccal area to proceed with their treatment were included in the study. Oral health instruction was provided to the patients prior to the intervention. In addition, scaling and root planing of the root surface were done using manual instruments and ultrasonic instruments if needed. For tooth anchorage, a mini-screw with Elastic Chain or Coil Spring was used. The following periodontal indices were examined in the mini-screw receiving tooth and the contralateral tooth: plaque index, pocket probing depth, attached gingiva level (AG), and gingival index. Measurements were made before the placement of the mini-screws and 1, 2, and 3 months following that.
resultsThe results revealed a significant difference only in the amount of AG between the tooth with mini-screw and the control tooth (p = 0.028); for other periodontal indices, there were no significant differences between the two groups.
conclusionThis study showed that periodontal indices in adjacent teeth of the mini-screws do not change significantly compared to other teeth and mini-screws can be used as a suitable anchorage without posing a threat to the periodontal health. Using mini-screws is a safe intervention for orthodontic treatments.
