Success Rate of Immediately Loaded Orthodontic Temporary Anchorage Devices: A Retrospective Analysis of Patient- and Treatment-Related Factors.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundTemporary anchorage devices (TADs) are considered an essential and reliable component of orthodontic fixed appliance therapy, providing stable skeletal anchorage with minimal dependence on patient compliance.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the success rate of orthodontic mini-implants and to assess the influence of patient- and treatment-related factors on their stability and success rate. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of 60 patients was conducted with a total of 121 inserted TADs. Patient sex, age, orthodontic diagnosis, insertion site, and bone quality were analyzed, and descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables. Associations between categorical variables were evaluated using Pearson's chi-square test. Variables showing potential association were further analyzed using multivariate binary logistic regression to identify independent predictors of mini-implant success.
resultsNo statistically significant associations were found between implant success and patient sex (
conclusionsThe high success rate of the TADs demonstrated high clinical reliability in this study, although patient-related factors such as age and sex did not significantly influence the success rate. Bone quality and soft tissue characteristics may contribute to TAD stability; however, these factors were not directly quantified in the present analysis.
