1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Loss of alveolar bone and risk of root resorption during pre-prosthetic orthodontic treatment can compromise successful implant placement and long-term stability. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate three-dimensional changes in root morphology and alveolar bone in teeth undergoing pre-prosthetic orthodontic treatment combined with endodontic retreatment prior to implant placement. Hence, a total of 40 teeth from adult patients were assessed using pre- and post-treatment CBCT scans to measure root length, cortical bone thickness, alveolar crest height, and bone density. The results showed a mild but significant reduction in root length, indicating minimal external root resorption. Significant increases in buccal and lingual cortical bone thickness and bone density were observed, while alveolar crest height remained stable. This interdisciplinary approach appears safe and effective, providing favorable bone conditions for predictable implant placement and long-term success.
