Utility of tooth as an autogenous graft material in the defects of alveolar cleft - A novel case report.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. 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
Reconstruction of the alveolar cleft is very important for providing both aesthetic as well as functional benefits to the patients with cleft lip and palate. The autogenous iliac crest is the most widely used bone graft in SABG procedures. There are very few published studies in the literature where tooth as an autogenous graft is used in dentoalveolar defects. Through the medium of this article, we present a novel idea of the tooth as a graft in a 20-year-old male patient with bilateral cleft alveolus. Grafting of the bilateral cleft alveolus was done by using an autogenous graft from the teeth which were indicated for extraction. The patient was monitored at 1-week, 1-month, and 6-month intervals postoperatively. On the Bergland scale, the bone graft of Type I was seen on the right side as the interdental bone level was normal and Type II was seen on the left side as the interdental bone level was greater than three-quarters of normal height. The result of this report proves that autogenous tooth graft is equally effective as compared to the other options available today. The postoperative complications are also minimal with no donor site morbidity.
