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
objectivesTo evaluate the effect of using different orthodontic wires for splinting luxated teeth on the development of ankylosis and root resorption in rats.
methodsFifty rats were anaesthetised and subjected to a controlled luxation trauma affecting their right maxillary incisor, then randomly divided into five groups (n = 10) based on the splinting material (stainless steel [SS] or nickel-titanium [NiTi]) and diameter (0.017 × 0.025 and 0.016-inch wires). The lower incisors served as the control group. Half of the rats were sacrificed after 12 and the remaining after 24 weeks. Tissue sections were investigated for external root resorption and ankylosis under a light microscope.
resultsThe incidence of root resorption and ankylosis did not differ significantly between wire sizes and materials (p > 0.05). No significant histological difference was observed between the 12- and 24-week groups. In contrast, control teeth in all groups exhibited significantly lower rates of ankylosis and root resorption compared to splinted teeth.
conclusionSplinting with NiTi or SS wires (0.017 × 0.025 and 0.016-inch) has a similar risk of ankylosis and root resorption. Duration of splinting did not affect histological outcomes.
