Preoperative Anatomic Evaluation of the Relationship Between Inferior Alveolar Nerve Canal and Impacted Mandibular Third Molar in a Population of Bhubaneswar, Odisha, Using CBCT: A Hospital-Based Study.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo evaluate the correlation between the position of inferior alveolar nerve canal and the angulation of impacted mandibular third molars using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a hospital-based study in the state of Odisha, India. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: Three hundred cases of impacted third molars in 200 patients (154 males; 46 females) were included in the study, for whom an initial periapical or panoramic radiograph had revealed that the mandibular canal and the lower third molars were in close proximity. A CBCT scan of each patient was carried out to assess how the canal position influenced the class and position of impaction, angulation of impaction and bone contact.
resultsClass II position B impactions were found in 78.37% cases where the position of ID canal was approximate to the lingual plate and inferior to third molar (73.75%). The results were statistically significant (
conclusionsThe study mostly exhibited patients having mesioangular class II position B third molar impactions of the mandible. The position of the canal has a significant influence on the type of impaction and the bone contact.
