Effect of injectable platelet-rich fibrin on orthodontically induced root resorption during tooth movement: a biomarker-based randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 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
objectivesOrthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) is a common adverse effect of orthodontic treatment, and early detection remains challenging. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the biological effect of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on OIRR using dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) as a biomarker during orthodontic tooth movement. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty patients requiring bilateral maxillary first premolar extraction were randomly allocated to an i-PRF group (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). In the intervention group, i-PRF was administered submucosally before incisor alignment. GCF samples were collected from maxillary central and lateral incisors at baseline (T0) and monthly for six months (T1-T6). DSPP concentrations were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Longitudinal changes in DSPP levels were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models to account for repeated measurements.
resultsDSPP levels showed a significant time-dependent increase in both groups for central and lateral incisors (p < 0.001). However, the pattern of DSPP release differed significantly between groups. From the fourth month onward, DSPP levels were significantly lower in the i-PRF group compared with controls (p < 0.05). Lateral incisors consistently exhibited higher DSPP concentrations than central incisors.
conclusionsAdministration of i-PRF before incisor alignment was associated with lower DSPP expression during orthodontic tooth movement, suggesting a possible biological effect of i-PRF on OIRR. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The study provides preliminary biological evidence that i-PRF may influence processes associated with OIRR. If confirmed by future studies, i-PRF could serve as a minimally invasive adjunct to help reduce the risk of root resorption during orthodontic treatment.
