Comparative analysis of apical root resorption induced by different intrusion mechanics: A scanning electron microscopy study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Root resorption is a frequent iatrogenic consequence of orthodontic tooth movement and this study aims to compare the extent of root resorption induced by different intrusion mechanics, including mini-screws, bite turbos and box loops, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sample included 18 maxillary first premolars extracted from nine orthodontic patients undergoing first premolar extractions. Subjects were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 6 teeth per group). Following extraction, one-third of the root was embedded in acrylic, while epoxy resin replicas of the apical two-thirds were prepared using silicone impressions. The samples were electroplated with silver and examined under SEM (JEOL Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) at 20 kV, with magnifications ranging from x35 to x1000. Within the study limitations, mini-screws and turbos produced more pronounced root resorption than box loop mechanics.
