Effect of photobiological regulation of green laser on orthodontic tooth retention in rats.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Green lasers have a stronger effect on promoting osteoblast differentiation, which is critical for orthodontic tooth retention. This study investigated the impact of green laser photobiomodulation on orthodontic tooth retention in rats. A total of 100 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups: Group A (control) and Group B (green laser irradiation). The left upper first molar was moved using a 0.20-mm nickel-titanium coil spring applying a force of 50 g for 3 weeks. The coil spring was then replaced with a 0.25-mm ligature wire to establish an orthodontic tooth retention model. Group B received green laser irradiation on the periodontium surrounding the molars. Retention devices were removed on days 1, 4, 10, 13, and 21. After 3 days of recurrence, the rats were sacrificed on days 4, 7, 13, 16, and 24. The left maxillary molar region was scanned using 3Shape to assess recurrence, and micro-computed tomography was used to evaluate alveolar bone density. Tissue staining was performed to observe periodontal remodeling and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) expression. Over time, the recurrence rate of the molar decreased significantly in both groups (P < 0.01), while alveolar bone density and BMP-2 expression increased (P < 0.01). Group B showed a lower recurrence rate and higher bone density, BMP-2 expression, and osteoblast counts than Group A. Green laser photobiomodulation promoted periodontal tissue remodeling, increased osteoblast numbers, stimulated new bone formation, and reduced the recurrence rate during orthodontic tooth retention in rats.
