Micro-osteoperforations' impact on orthodontic tooth movement rate: Split mouth research.
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
Micro-osteoperforations (MOP) accelerate tooth movement by enhancing osteoclastic activity thereby reducing overall treatment time. Therefore, it is of interest to report current research to evaluate the outcome of micro-osteoperforations on the rate of orthodontic canine retraction. We assessed their potential for accelerating tooth movement during fixed orthodontic treatment. Maxillary arch of 16 selected participants was randomly alienated into experimental and control side. After extraction of maxillary first premolars and completion of alignment and levelling, micro-osteoperforations were performed on the experimental side. 150-gram force was applied on both sides using NiTi closed coil spring for canine retraction. Tooth movement measurements were obtained at 4, 8, and 12 weeks to evaluate effectiveness of MOP's. MOPs effectively accelerate orthodontic tooth movement during the 1st 4 weeks of canine retraction. The technique does not increase tipping, anchorage loss, or patient discomfort.
