Comparative Evaluation of Aligners with Built-in Vibration Features on Rate of 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: Clear aligner therapy has become a preferred alternative to traditional fixed orthodontics due to its aesthetics and comfort. However, the slower rate of tooth movement remains a limitation. Incorporating built-in vibration technology within aligners is a recent innovation proposed to accelerate tooth movement by enhancing cellular activity and bone remodeling. Materials and Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted involving 40 orthodontic patients aged 18-30 years requiring anterior teeth retraction. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: Group A ( Results: The mean rate of tooth movement over 12 weeks was significantly higher in Group B (0.45 ± 0.08 mm/week) compared to Group A (0.29 ± 0.06 mm/week), with a Conclusion: Aligners integrated with vibration features demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the rate of tooth movement compared to conventional aligners.
