Guided bone regeneration to reduce root migration after coronectomy of lower third molar: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeRoot migration occurs after most third molar coronectomy and a portion may be exposed in the oral cavity. This study compared the root migration rate, surgical morbidities after third molar coronectomy with or without adjunctive guided bone regeneration (GBR).
methodsA split-mouth randomized clinical trial was conducted on patients with bilateral lower third molars close to the inferior alveolar nerve. One side of the lower third molars was randomized to receive coronectomy with adjunctive GBR (study group) and the other side received coronectomy alone (control group). The cases were followed up for 2 years. Root migration, root exposure rate, surgical morbidities, and adjacent second molar periodontal regeneration were analyzed.
resultsForty-eight subjects (19 males, 29 females) with a mean age of 2.6 years (SD 5.8 years) were recruited. There was no root exposure in the review period. There were no statistical differences in pain and infection rate between the two groups at all time-points. The root migration was significantly less in the study group than the control group from 3 months onwards, and migrated only 1 mm (SD 1.3 mm) in 2 years (versus 3.5 mm (S.D.1.9 mm) in the control group). There were no differences in the periodontal attachment regeneration between the two groups.
conclusionsRoot migration in coronectomy with adjunctive GBR was less when compared with coronectomy alone, and with similar surgical morbidities and periodontal regeneration of adjacent second molars. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Minimal root migration occurred in coronectomy with adjunctive GBR. The chance of long-term (3 years or more) root exposure and the need of subsequent second operation to remove the exposed root would be reduced.
