LASER assisted soft tissue procedures for orthodontic treatment.
Article in Bioinformation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Light Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) therapy has been the subject of numerous researches as an auxiliary method in orthodontic practice. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the clinical evaluation of laser assisted soft tissue procedures for orthodontic treatment. The soft tissue surgical procedures carried out were aestheticre-contouring, gingivectomy, maxillary frenectomy, operculectomy and surgical exposure of impacted canines. The clinical outcomes evaluated in each patient were post-operative pain, bleeding during surgical procedure. In our study, clinical evaluation of outcomes in both categories revealed reduced pain at 1 hour and 24 hour after surgical procedures in patients who underwent surgery with LASER.. Soft tissue Laser can be an alternative to conventional surgery for soft tissue surgeries in orthodontics with better pain relief and reduced bleeding.
