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

Orthodontics aims to correct misaligned teeth by repositioning them into their proper three-dimensional positions through periodontal remodeling triggered by orthodontic forces. Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is an aseptic inflammation process characterized by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption on the compression side and osteoblast-induced bone deposition on the tension side. Orthodontic forces primarily include compressive force (CF), tensile force (TF), and flow shear stress (FSS), meanwhile, hypoxia is concomitantly induced during force application. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic mechanism mediating cellular degradation and recycling and is classified into three main types: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), distinguished by their substrate delivery mechanisms to lysosomes. This review will first outline common autophagy classifications, describe the basic process of macroautophagy, and discuss autophagy regulators, as well as the theories of OTM mechanisms. Furthermore, it will systematically elucidate roles and mechanisms of autophagy in OTM across different cell types, with specific emphasis on hypoxia, CF, TF, and FSS. Additionally, mitophagy and CMA will be addressed. Hopefully, this comprehensive analysis aims to provide a theoretical foundation for accelerating OTM and mitigating orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption through autophagy modulation.
