A comparative evaluation of corticotomy-assisted and conventional maxillary anterior en-masse retraction: A clinical study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Orthodontic patients often experience prolonged treatment duration and anchorage loss during maxillary anterior en-masse retraction. This drawback has prompted the need for techniques that can accelerate tooth movement. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of corticotomy-assisted versus conventional maxillary anterior en-masse retraction in adult patients. It was conducted in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal, Karnataka, India. Twelve patients with Class I bimaxillary protrusion were divided equally into two groups and treated with identical orthodontic mechanics. The rate of tooth movement, anchorage loss and incisor torque control were assessed at defined time intervals during space closure. Corticotomy-assisted retraction showed a significantly higher rate of tooth movement and reduced overall treatment time with less anchorage loss. No significant difference in torque control was observed between the two treatment modalities.
