Interrelationship between the menstrual cycle and the phenomena associated with orthodontic tooth movement in young female patients: a systematic review.

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
purposeAlterations in the levels of female sex hormones throughout the menstrual cycle can affect bone turnover, which, in turn, may influence the phenomena related to orthodontic tooth movement. The aim of the present study was to investigate in a systematic manner and summarize the existing evidence regarding the interrelationship between the menstrual cycle and the phenomena associated with orthodontic treatment in young females.
methodAn unrestricted search was performed. Studies investigating the interdependence between the menstrual cycle in young females and the phenomena associated with tooth movement were reviewed. Study retrieval and selection were followed by extraction of relevant data and risk of bias assessment with the Cochrane ROB 2 tool for randomized controlled studies and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for the remaining studies.
resultsFinally, seven studies, with variable risk of bias, met the inclusion criteria. Overall, force application during menstruation led to greater tooth movement. Orthodontic pain increased when forces were applied in the luteal phase and was exacerbated when patients presented with primary dysmenorrhea. Orthodontic treatment did not affect the duration of menstrual bleeding or cycle length in the long term.
conclusionThe menstrual cycle may exert an effect on the phenomena associated with orthodontic tooth movement: an orthodontist should therefore be able to identify possible repercussions.
