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: Bonded lingual retainers (BLRs) are essential in orthodontics to maintain post-treatment alignment, particularly for mandibular and maxillary anterior teeth. The mechanical properties of the wires used in BLRs significantly influence their performance and longevity. Purpose: This study evaluates the mechanical characteristics of three wire types commonly used in BLRs including Coaxial, Dead Soft, and Multi-Strand Retainer wires. Materials and Method: This Results: The Dead Soft wire exhibited the highest pull-out force (92.92 N) and detachment force (51.68 N), while the Multi-Strand Retainer wire showed the lowest pull-out force (58.38 N). The Coaxial wire demonstrated the highest deformation (1.34mm), whereas the Dead Soft wire had the least deformation (0.91mm). Fracture mode analysis revealed significant differences among groups; Coaxial wires predominantly exhibited type 3 fractures (90%), while Dead Soft wires had no type 3 fractures. Conclusion: The Dead Soft wire outperformed other wire types in terms of pull-out and detachment forces, making it a robust choice for BLRs. However, its lower deformation may reduce flexibility under stress. These findings provide valuable insights for orthodontists in selecting optimal wires for BLR fabrication to enhance clinical outcomes and device longevity.
