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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundMicro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play an important role during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) through the regulation of periodontal soft and hard tissue homeostasis and functions. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of miRNAs on OTM and to evaluate possible predictors that influenced the overall OTM amount at a 3-month follow-up.

methodsThrough a split-mouth design, 21 healthy patients (mean age 13.2 ± 1.8 years) were enrolled in the present study. Clinical parameters and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) sampling were performed on both compression and tension sides of a random canine to be distalized (test groups) at baseline and at 1 h, 1 day, 1 month and at 3-month after OTM, while the contralateral canine served as a control group. miRNAs - 7a-3p, -7a-2-3p, -7a-5p, -21-3p, -21-5p, -100-3p, -100-5p, -125b-2-3p, -125b-5p, -200b-3p, and - 200b-5p expression was analyzed using a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Data were analyzed to assess miRNAs change following OTM. Spearman test, two-way ANOVA and a multivariate regression model were established to evaluate the correlation among miRNAs and clinical parameters and to explore possible predictors of OTM amount at 3-month follow-up.

resultsAt 3-month follow-up, there was an increase of miRNA-7a-2-3p, -21-5p, -100-5p, a decrease of miRNA-125b-5p, 200b-3p and - 200b-5p in the compression side and an increase of miRNA-7a-3p, 100-5p in the tension side (p < 0.05). The two-way ANOVA revealed that OTM determined, on the compression side, a significant upregulation on miRNA-7a-3p (p = 0.017), -7a-2-3p (p = 0.023), -21-5p (p = 0.007), -100-5p (p = 0.025) and a significant downregulation of miRNA-125b-2-3p (p = 0.019) and - 200b-5p (p = 0.017). The multivariate model highlighted that high baseline miRNA-7a2-3p (p = 0.025), -21-5p (p = 0.014), -200b-3p (p = 0.041), young age (p = 0.042), lower bleeding on probing (BOP) (p = 0.021) and miRNA-125b-2-3p (p = 0.021) levels were significant predictors of OTM at 3-month follow-up.

conclusionsIn the present study, OTM significantly impacted the expression of the miRNAs analyzed, in both the tension and compression side of traction tooth at 3-month follow-up. High baseline miRNA-7a2-3p, -21-5p, -200b-3p, and lower miRNA-125b-2-3p, together with younger age and lower BOP, were significant predictors of OTM amount at 3-month follow-up.
