The treatment of anterior dental trauma.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundAvulsed frontal teeth often cannot be saved because of improper or lack of initial treatment. The result is a need for multiple interventions over the patient's lifetime, which also carry a high financial cost.
methodsWe explored the subject of lost anterior teeth in young patients with a PubMed search based on the term "prevalence of traumatic dental injuries" over the time period 2000-2010. In this article, we selectively review the publications retrieved by the search and give case examples to illustrate the proper initial treatment of children and adolescents (ages 6 to 17) with broken anterior teeth.
resultsThe search retrieved 138 articles. Here, we review retrospective clinical studies of dental trauma between the ages of 6 and 17: only 6 adequately designed studies of this type were found. The estimated prevalence of anterior dental trauma in this age group ranged from 6.4% to 37.9%. The recommended initial steps for the preservation of traumatized teeth are easy to take. Avulsed teeth can and should be replanted at once. If there is no time, or if the patient simultaneously has other, life-threatening injuries, the avulsed teeth can be stored in a special nutrient medium until they can be replanted. Commercially available tooth rescue boxes enable replantation to be performed up to 24 hours after the injury.
conclusionThe authors of the selected studies agree that dental trauma is often improperly treated. Timely treatment of injured anterior teeth prevents much further damage and expensive treatment for the affected young patients.
