Assessment of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in enhancing alveolar bone repair and minimizing relapse in a rabbit model.
Article in Open veterinary 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
Background: The exogen device delivers low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), which stimulates osteogenesis and angiogenesis without causing harmful thermal effects. In veterinary practice, it can speed fracture healing in animals and horses, enhancing bone strength and shortening recovery time. Aim: This experimental study evaluated the veterinary application of the Exogen LIPUS device in promoting alveolar bone healing and reducing post-orthodontic relapse in rabbits. Methods: Twenty adult rabbits underwent orthodontic tooth movement, followed by appliance removal. Animals were divided into two groups: control group without LIPUS treatment and an Exogen group receiving daily LIPUS exposure for 20 days. Clinical measurements of relapse distance (RD) were recorded at days 0, 10, and 20. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were performed to assess osteoblast and osteoclast counts, vascular density, and periodontal ligament (PDL) width in both cervical and apical regions. Results: Results showed that the Exogen group exhibited a significantly smaller RD from day 10 onwards ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Exogen LIPUS device may serve as an effective adjunct tool in veterinary medicine to accelerate bone healing-particularly alveolar bone-and to achieve greater stability of teeth following maxillofacial surgical interventions in rabbits, and potentially in other animals.
