Effect of photobiomodulation therapy on orthodontic-induced inflammatory root resorption in male albino rats.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess histologically and histomorphometrically the effect of Photo-biomodulation therapy (PBM) on orthodontic-induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) under relatively light- and heavy- orthodontic forces in rats.
methodsThirty-two male Albino rats weighing between (250–300 g) were randomly assigned to four equal groups (gp) of 8 rats each. Control low-force gp (CL): The maxillary left 1st molar (M1) was subjected to 10–15 g orthodontic force by nickel titanium coil spring stretched between the M1 and maxillary incisors. Control high-force gp (CH): The M1 had heavier orthodontic force of 50 g. Laser low-force gp (LL): The M1 had orthodontic force of 10–15 g & PBM using GaAlAs diode laser (λ = 980 nm, 100 mW output power) at two points palatal and two buccal, with a continuous non-contact irradiating mode for 12 s for each point (energy of 1.2 J/point, fluence of 16.9 J/cm2). Laser high-force gp (LH): M1 had orthodontic force of 50 g & PBM. The rats were euthanized after 7- and 21-days intervals in each gp and the maxillae were dissected out, then serial transverse sections of the M1 were taken for histological and histomorphometric evaluation.
resultsOur results showed significant decrease in the amount of OIIRR in the laser gps at day 21 in all force subgroups, without significant change at day 7.
conclusionPBM can significantly reduce the overall amount of root resorption and enhance/accelerate the healing of OIIRR.
