Labiolingual Loading Biomechanics on Central Incisor Under Different Periodontal Conditions: A Finite Element Study.
Article in International dental journal, 2026. 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
objectiveIn this finite element study, the biomechanical effects of force application at different lingual versus labial sites on a maxillary central incisor with alveolar bone loss and proclination were compared.
methodsFinite element models were constructed to simulate 4 levels of alveolar bone loss: none, 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 of the root length. Labiolingual inclination was defined by the U1-SN angle (97°-115°). A combined force of 1.5 N retraction and 0.5 N intrusion was applied at 4 sites: the labial crown centre (La), the lingual fossa midpoint (Li(M)), the lingual fossa-cingulum transition (Li(T)), and the cingulum prominence (Li(P)).
resultsIn models with 0-1/3 bone loss, labial forces produced predictable mesial crown displacement with increasing U1 SN angle, improving sagittal control. Lingual forces reduced distal displacement-most effectively at Li(M)-while Li(P) best controlled lingual inclination. Vertically, intrusion occurred under labial force with 1/3 loss, but extrusion under lingual force. Models with 1/2-2/3 bone loss showed complex horizontal movements, vertical extrusion, and reduced 3-dimensional control. Periodontal ligament (PDL) stress varied with force site, angle, and bone loss. Without loss, peak stress occurred near 100°; greater loss shifted this peak and increased stress. Sensitivity analysis showed that a 30% reduction in PDL modulus increased displacement by 43%, whereas a 30% increase reduced it by 23%.
conclusionsAlveolar bone loss is the dominant factor influencing tooth displacement patterns and results in greater than ±30% changes in the PDL modulus inclination. Increased bone loss exacerbates crown lingual tipping and extrusion. Labial force provides better control over lingual tipping than lingual force does. Among lingual sites, the cingulum minimizes these adverse movements. Sensitivity analysis confirmed that variations in the elastic modulus of the PDL led to changes in initial tooth displacement, whereas the tooth movement rate remained relatively stable.
