Effect of a self-ligating bracket system combined with corticision on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: A controlled clinical trial.

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
backgroundThe self-ligating bracket system and corticision are two methods for acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).
objectivesThe current study aimed to assess the effect of a self-ligating bracket system combined with corticision on the rate of OTM. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe present study was conducted on 16 female patients divided into two groups: an experimental group of eight patients treated by self-ligating bracket systems used as fixed orthodontic appliances combined with a corticision as a minimally invasive surgical technique for accelerating OTM, and a control group of eight patients treated only by self-ligating bracket systems used as fixed orthodontic appliances. The primary outcome was the percentage of change in Little's Index of Irregularity (LII). The secondary outcome was the time taken to finish the leveling and alignment stage.
resultsIn a comparison of the percentage of change in LII for the upper arch between the two groups, the experimental group recorded values that were significantly greater than those recorded in the control group at all time intervals T0-T7, except for T8-T10, which were similar. Both groups recorded (100 ± 0%), with no significant difference between groups (
conclusionThe combination of two methods for acceleration of OTM, a self-ligating bracket system combined with corticision, accelerates the rate of OTM more than in the case of using a self-ligating bracket system only.
