1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

During orthodontic treatment, we can achieve differential movements by using photobiomodulation (PBM) as an adjuvant before applying force. We can expect a greater bone density that initially resists movement while applying PBM to the other teeth to achieve an accelerating effect. The proposed protocol is to use an 810 nm laser at 0.1W power, applying between 4 and 6J per tooth for 22 s on the vestibular and lingual root surfaces, following the axial axis of the tooth. The energy density depends on the tip selected in the instrument. Normal bone remodeling cannot be avoided by applying high doses of PBM. PBM should be applied before orthodontic force to reduce tooth movement. In addition, PBM can be used during force application to teeth that require acceleration to achieve differential movement in orthodontic treatments. The protocol is the same in both scenarios.
