Radiographic features of anatomic relationship between impacted third molar and inferior alveolar canal on coronal CBCT images: risk factors for nerve injury after tooth extraction.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
introductionThe present study was aimed to identify the radiographic signs between impacted third molar root and inferior alveolar canal (IAC) on cone-beam CT (CBCT) images as risk factors and prognostic predictors associated with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) damage following tooth removal. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective clinical study was performed involving 136 patients with 257 impacted lower third molars from January 2013 to December 2014. The neurosensory function of the lower lip and chin was subjectively evaluated and assessed by neurosensory tests before and after surgery. The preoperative CBCT data were retrieved and analyzed to identify the radiographic signs associated with postoperative IAN injury.
resultsThe overall incidence of IAN injury in our patient cohort was 13.2%. Multiple radiographic features on coronal CBCT images including contact between IAC and root, IAC position relative to root, IAC shape and cortication status were found to be significantly associated with IAN damage (
conclusionsOur findings indicate that radiographic signs including direct contact between IAC and root, buccal/lingual IAC position relative to root, teardrop/dumbbell shape and cortication absence of the IAC on presurgical CBCT images are associated with high risk of IAN injury and postoperative neurosensory disturbance.
