An in vitro evaluation of aligner force decay in artificial saliva.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background/purpose: The present study aimed to compare the force decay of invisible aligners for maxillary anterior teeth with 0.1 mm (D Materials and methods: The prepared invisible aligners were immersed in saliva (S) and subjected to applied force (F) for 7 days. The aligners were set and placed on the maxillary right central incisor with 0.1 mm (D Results: Significant differences were observed in the initial and first-day force between the D Conclusion: Larger labial movement of the aligners resulted in higher force decay under artificial saliva environments, and the force decay of invisible aligners was increased by immersion time in artificial saliva.
