Frictional resistance of ceramic, self-ligating and metal brackets with various archwires.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The bracket-archwire interface friction is one of the factors that influence the efficiency of orthodontic tooth movement and the total time of treatment. Therefore, it is of interest to compare ceramic, passive self-ligating and conventional metal bracketries in relation to their frictional characteristics for determing the types of archwires and their sizes with the bracketries. Frictional forces Frictional forces were measured under standardized conditions using 240 combinations of bracket-archwire through a universal testing machine. Brackets with the least friction were the self-ligating ones and the brackets with the highest friction were the ceramic ones, particularly with rectangular NiTi and beta-titanium wires. The self-ligating systems come with the benefit of high low-friction performance that improves treatment performance on the traditional and ceramic brackets.
