Green Teeth Related to Bilirubin Levels.
Article in Acta stomatologica Croatica, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo describe a form of tooth pigmentation caused by serum bilirubin deposition during dental calcification in a premature child. The bilirubin levels during the three months after birth are presented. In this period the crowns of the primary teeth are still forming. Such anomaly does not have symptoms, but has a displeasing effect and great anxiety within the family. CASE REPORT: The case reported here highlights the relevance of past medical history, especially the diagnoses of prolonged conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, in this case, to confirm them and to comfort the family. In this case, no esthetic treatment had been undertaken because the child was still too young and not yet concerned. The dental treatment plan included regular checkups every 3 months for maintaining oral health to prevent caries.
conclusionAs this is a rare condition that affects the teeth, parents will most likely look for a dentist for treatment. Therefore, dentists must be aware or such abnormalities and take a multidisciplinary approach, thus making it possible to establish a final diagnosis.
