Changes in Periodontal Tissues With Periodontally Accelerated Orthodontics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Periodontally accelerated orthodontic (PAO) therapy has been found to increase hard tissue, helping to decrease orthodontic relapse rates and improve retention capacity. The aim of this study was to synthesize available evidence on clinical and tomographic changes in periodontal tissues when using PAO techniques. A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The search was carried out in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials comparing PAO versus conventional orthodontics were included. Quality assessment was performed using the Downs & Black scale, and the risk of bias was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and the mean difference was divided by a t-test. During the initial search, 465 studies were identified. Five articles studying 130 patients were included, which assessed both clinical and tomographic changes, along with treatment duration. PAO was administered to patients with skeletal class III in three studies, to class II patients in one study, and to individuals with dental crowding in another study. Two studies showed a moderate risk of bias, and the rest showed a low risk. The meta-analysis revealed a vestibular bone thickness increase of 0.32 mm (0.56-008; P = 0.008), a reduction of 3.12 mm (2.15-4.08; P= 0.001) in gingival retraction, and a treatment duration that was 7.07 months (8.79-5.36; P = 0.001) shorter in patients subjected to PAO compared to those undergoing conventional orthodontic treatment. Considering the limitations of the study and acknowledging that definitive conclusions cannot be drawn, the findings suggest that treatment time decreased in patients undergoing PAO, with an increase in vestibular bone thickness and less gingival retraction observed in those undergoing this intervention.
