Iatrogenic Enamel Lesions with Fixed Multi-bracket Treatment.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Malocclusion is a serious oral health issue that requires orthodontic correction. Fixed orthodontic appliances are known for acquired enamel damage. Aims: To evaluate the incidence of iatrogenic white spots in subjects treated with fixed orthodontic therapy. Methods and Materials: This was a retrospective study. The study sample included the orthodontically treated subjects debonded during the study period. An imaging technique was followed to evaluate enamel white spots. Teeth debonded after orthodontic therapy were evaluated and compared with pretreatment records. Results: A majority of subjects were young adults. Maximum subjects were school-going children from the rural background. Maxillary incisors were the most affected tooth, whereas maxillary posteriors were the least affected with white spot lesions. Conclusions: Iatrogenic enamel damage is the prime concern for orthodontists. Good oral hygiene maintenance and demineralization prevention is the ideal strategy.
