1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Orthodontic pain has emerged to be the most common side effect to be reported in the course of fixed appliance therapy, with prevalence of more than 70 per cent of patients and may undermine the adherence to treatment. Therefore, it is of interest to controlled pilot trial that tested the analgesic effect of therapeutic ultrasound on pain management in the first stage of alignment. Seven orthodontic patients (15-25 years old) with Class I malocclusion were randomly assigned to the ultrasound (1 MHz, 0.5 W/cm
