CHANGES IN SALIVARY PROTEOME WITH REGARD TO PAIN-RELATED PROTEINS FOLLOWING FIXED ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE PLACEMENT.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Orthodontic tooth movement relies on the application of force that drives bone resorption and formation. As saliva reflects these processes and harbors proteins of diagnostic and prognostic value, we studied these changes in patients with malocclusion. This study sampled the proteomes and evaluated the intensity of experienced pain related to the apparatus placement in ten male patients with malocclusion on day 0, 30 and 60 of orthodontic therapy. A prospective shotgun proteomic pilot study identified 947 proteins, and demonstrated a shift in the salivary proteome during orthodontic therapy. Gene enrichment analysis revealed hemostasis, but also platelet activation, signaling, aggregation and degranulation as prominent processes occurring 30 days post appliance placement, while proteins related to antimicrobial resistance were detected throughout the observed tooth movement period. Our research indicated an increased expression of proteins related to the immune and protective response to foreign bodies and pathogens, cellular and tissue injury, and biomechanical stimuli associated to bone remodeling. While a direct linkage between the alteration of the proteomic profile and the direction of painful perception was not identified, all results suggest a well-coordinated yet complex occurrence involving a multitude of biologically active signaling pathways and molecules.
