Micro-implant anchorage in adolescent orthodontics: a promising and advantageous option.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the influence of micro-implant anchorage (MIA) on the orthodontic efficacy, safety, and oral health of adolescents.
methodsA total of 113 adolescent orthodontic patients treated during January 2019 to January 2021 were selected for study. Among them, 55 received traditional orthodontic treatment (reference group) and 58 underwent MIA (research group). The efficacy, orthodontic effect (molar displacement, upper central incisor [UCI] inclination, and convex distance differences), safety (oral infection, soft tissue edema, loose teeth, discomfort), oral health status (oral health-related quality of life [OHRQOL]), oral micro-ecological environment (detection rate of oral pathogens), gingiva-related indices (plaque index [PLI], sulcus bleeding index [SBI], and gingival index [GI]), masticatory function (bite force, masticatory efficiency), and orthodontic satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe total effective rate and OHRQOL score of the research group were markedly higher compared with the reference group. Additionally, the research group reported lower molar displacement, PLI, SBI, and GI, and higher UCI inclination, convex distance, bite force, masticatory efficiency, and orthodontic satisfaction. Besides, the overall adverse reaction rate and oral pathogen detection rate were statistically lower in the research group.
conclusionMIA is highly effective in adolescent orthodontics, significantly improving oral health, the oral microecological environment, gingival condition, masticatory function, and orthodontic satisfaction. It offers better orthodontic outcomes and higher safety.
