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
aimTo evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement during maxillary canine retraction. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis split-mouth controlled clinical study included 15 patients aged between 18 and 30 years requiring bilateral maxillary first premolar extractions. One side of the maxillary arch was randomly assigned as the experimental side and received a single submucosal injection of autologous PRP around the distal aspect of the canine, while the contralateral side served as the control. Mini-implants were placed bilaterally between the maxillary first and second molars and loaded with NiTi closed-coil springs delivering a retractive force of 150 g for canine retraction. Orthodontic tooth movement was evaluated using intraoral scans obtained with Trios 3 scanner at baseline (T0) and at 4-week intervals up to 16 weeks (T1-T4). The rate of canine movement was calculated using Ortho Systems Orthodontics software. Intergroup comparisons were performed using an unpaired
resultsThe mean rate of canine retraction on the PRP side was 0.37 ± 0.34 mm, 0.37 ± 0.34 mm, 0.66 ± 0.46 mm, and 0.52 ± 0.44 mm across successive intervals. On the control side, the corresponding values were 0.31 ± 0.24 mm, 0.31 ± 0.24 mm, 0.23 ± 0.27 mm, and 0.38 ± 0.53 mm. A statistically significant difference was observed during the T2-T3 interval (
conclusionA single submucosal PRP injection may enhance canine retraction during orthodontic treatment, although the effect appears transient and time dependent.
