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

Objective: To probe into the impact of atorvastatin on RANKL expression in rats during the retention stage after orthodontic tooth movement and its associated molecular mechanisms. Methods: After establishing an orthodontic tooth movement model, the left teeth of the retention-stage rats were the maintained side, and the right teeth were the nonmaintained side, which were given physiological saline or atorvastatin dosing at 7d, 14d, and 21d, respectively, by tube feeding, in order to keep the rats as a control group at the beginning of the retention stage. A model of the rat's upper jaw gypsum in each group was made at various time points to measure the distance at which the teeth relapsed. The pathological slices of the upper jaw arch were taken separately for TRAP staining observation. Results: Compared to the physiological saline group, the recurrence distance of rats in the atorvastatin group was visually lower ( Conclusion: The atorvastatin given to rats during the retention stage after orthodontic tooth movement inhibits RANKL expression and may function through OPG/RANKL/RANK system.
