Investigation of genetic polymorphisms associated with severe root resorption in orthodontic surgery patients.
Article in Brazilian 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
This study aimed to evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in the BMP2, BMP4, RUNX2, and SMAD6 genes and the presence of severe external apical root resorption (EARR) in orthodontic patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. EARR represents a significant adverse outcome in orthodontic treatments, and genetic susceptibility may influence its occurrence. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 158 orthodontic patients treated with fixed appliances and mono or bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. Postoperative panoramic radiographs were used to assess severe EARR. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal epithelial cells. Seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the target genes were genotyped using real-time PCR with TaqMan assays. Statistical analyses were performed with Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. No significant associations were observed for polymorphisms in BMP2 (rs1005464, rs235768), BMP4 (rs17563), RUNX2 (rs59983488, rs1200425), or SMAD6 (rs2119261). However, a significant association was found for SMAD6 rs3934908 (p < 0.05), with the CC genotype more frequent in patients with severe EARR. No deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed. The findings suggest that the SMAD6 rs3934908 polymorphism may be associated with an increased susceptibility to severe EARR in orthodontic surgery patients. While most SNPs showed no association, these results contribute to understanding the genetic factors involved in EARR. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings and explore gene-environment interactions.
