Effect of Vitamin D on Orthodontic Tooth Movement.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: The movement of teeth in orthodontics is controlled by the body and involves changes to the surrounding bone. Since vitamin D helps maintain healthy calcium and bones, it could affect how fast and well tooth movement happens during orthodontics. Materials and Methods: During the study, 30 participants (age 18-25 years) had canine retraction after having their premolars extracted. Fifteen people in Group A were each given 600,000 IU Vitamin D3 injections once monthly for 3 months. At the same time, 15 people in Group B received injections of a placebo. Applying a standardized spring force of 150 g, we measured the rate of canine movement in study models at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12. At both baseline and after treatment, serum levels of Vitamin D in blood samples were checked. Results: At each interval, Group A showed greater tooth movement than Group B which was statistically significant (mean movement at 12 weeks: 2.85 ± 0.32 mm in Group A vs. 1.97 ± 0.28 mm in Group B; Conclusion: Getting vitamin D supplements helps tooth movement in the orthodontics clinic, with no side effects, most likely because it improves the bone around the teeth.
