1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Malocclusion, a prevalent oral health issue, requires prolonged orthodontic treatment due to inefficiency of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Non-invasive physical stimulation has been increasingly applied to accelerate OTM. This study investigated how age-related variations in jawbone density affect the efficacy of vibration and near-infrared (NIR) light in accelerating OTM. Human computed tomography (CT) data and rat models revealed higher jawbone density in young adults than in adolescents. A ten-channel vibration-light integrated platform (VLIP) was developed to precisely control the stimulation parameters for OTM acceleration. The results demonstrated that low-frequency vibration (L-Vib) accelerated OTM more efficiently in adolescents with lower jawbone density, whereas high-frequency vibration (H-Vib) was superior in young adults with denser jawbones. Notably, vibration and NIR light acted synergistically in accelerating OTM with long-term safety and efficacy. Therefore, the study provides a theoretical basis for developing personalized physical stimulation strategies based on jawbone density to improve orthodontic treatment efficiency.
