Interventions for treating traumatised ankylosed permanent front teeth.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTeeth that have suffered trauma can fuse to the surrounding bone - the process referred to as dental ankylosis. Ankylosed permanent front teeth fail to erupt during facial growth and can become displaced, thus resulting in functional and aesthetic problems. Dental ankylosis is also associated with root resorption, which eventually leads to the loss of affected teeth. Different interventions for the management of ankylosed permanent front teeth have been described but it is unclear which are the most effective.
objectivesTo assess the effects of treatment options for ankylosed permanent front teeth. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the following databases: Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register (to September 2009); Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2009, Issue 3); MEDLINE (1950 to September 2009); EMBASE (1980 to September 2009); and LILACS (1980 to September 2009). There were no language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing any intervention for treating displaced ankylosed permanent front teeth in individuals of any age. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two independent review authors screened studies in duplicate. Although no study was included, the authors had planned to extract data independently and to assess risk of bias following the Cochrane Collaboration methods. MAIN
resultsThe search retrieved 77 references to studies. None matched the inclusion criteria and therefore were excluded. AUTHORS'
conclusionsThere is no evidence from RCTs about the comparative effectiveness of the different treatment options for ankylosed permanent front teeth. The lack of high level evidence for the management of this health problem emphasises the need for well designed clinical trials.
