Metal Ion Release from Orthodontic Archwires: A Comparative Study of Biocompatibility and Corrosion Resistance.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
This study investigates the release of metal ions from commonly used orthodontic archwires, specifically, stainless steel (SS), nickel-titanium (NiTi), chromium-cobalt (CrCo), and titanium-molybdenum (TMA) alloys. To simulate oral conditions, each type of wire was immersed in artificial saliva at body temperature for a four-week period. Ion release levels were analyzed through ICP-OES mass spectrometry. The findings indicate that NiTi and CrCo wires released significantly higher amounts of nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) ions compared to SS wires. These findings underscore the potential risk of allergic reactions, particularly to nickel, and emphasize the need for careful consideration of biocompatibility in orthodontic material selection. This research also provides valuable insights aimed at minimizing adverse reactions in patients, especially those with metal allergies.
