Comparison of slot wall deformation in conventional and self-ligating brackets during torque with TMA wire - A finite element analysis.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Slot wall deformation occurs when twisting of the wire is increased. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate deformation in conventional, active and passive self-ligating stainless steel and ceramic brackets with 0.019 X 0.025inch TMA wire. Deformation of slot wall with TMA wire was least in ceramic passive self- ligating bracket ranging from 0.02 to 0.50 mm and highest in Stainless steel conventional bracket anging from 0.097 to 2.04 mm. Sequence of brackets from least to high slot wall deformation is Ceramic Passive Self-ligating bracket, Ceramic Active Self-ligating bracket, Stainless steel Passive Self-ligating bracket, Ceramic conventional bracket, Stainless steel Active Self-ligating bracket and Stainless-steel conventional bracket. Thus, elastic deformation of stainless-steel bracket slot was more than ceramic bracket slot.
