Analysis of the distribution of supernumerary teeth and the characteristics of mesiodens in Bengbu, China: a retrospective study.
Article in Oral radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesTo evaluate the distribution of supernumerary teeth (ST) and the characteristics of mesiodens.
methodsPanoramic radiographs of 48,700 outpatients were used to assess the distribution of ST. A total of 142 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were used to evaluate the characteristics of mesiodens.
resultsA total of 1.24% of individuals aged from 1 to 98 years were diagnosed with ST among 48,700 outpatients, and males had a higher percentage of ST than females (2.94:1); patients aged 6-12 years were the most frequently diagnosed. More females had ST impacted in bone than males. The percentages of patients with 1 and 2 ST were 0.949 and 0.290%, respectively. The most frequent location, crown direction, and morphology of mesiodens were palatal, inverted, and conical, respectively. The tooth lengths of mesiodens in males and of erupted mesiodens were longer than that those in females and of unerupted mesiodens, respectively. Inverted mesiodens had the shortest tooth length compared with vertical and horizontal mesiodens. These results were statistically significant.
conclusionsThe distribution of ST and mesiodens were both related to gender, and patients aged 6-12 years were the most frequently detected. The length of the mesiodens was associated with the growth direction and mesiodens eruption.
