Evaluation of Two Mini-implant Lengths in the Infrazygomatic Crest Region: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06293872 (Evaluation of Two Mini-Implant Lengths in the Infra-Zygomatic Crest Region), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTemporary anchorage devices (TADs) have revolutionized fixed orthodontic appliance treatment through anchorage controlling in the clinic and play an essential role in resolving many complex cases. Due to the limited space, there is a risk of injury to the roots while using interradicular microimplants. Therefore, the infrazygomatic crest (IZC) area can be an alternative mini-implant insertion site in the maxillary arch. The aim of the study was to evaluate the primary stability, pain perception, sinus penetration, late stability, and failure rate with two mini-implant lengths in the IZC area. MATERIALS AND
methodsForty-eight mini-implants (Tusk Dental Co., Ltd., Canada) with two different lengths (length/diameter: 12/2 and 14/2 mm) were grouped by length (24 per group) and inserted bilaterally into the IZC area of 24 patients. The data were statistically analyzed, considering a significance level of
resultsSinus penetration prevalence did not differ significantly between 12-mm (54.2%) and 14-mm (62.5%) mini-implants (
conclusionWhile the failure rate was similar between 12- and 14-mm mini-implants, the 14-mm mini-implants were more likely to damage adjacent structures. Therefore, shorter mini-implants should be preferred over longer mini-implants for most cases requiring IZC TADs. TRIAL REGISTRATION ID: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06293872.
