Detection and characteristics of the gubernacular tract in supernumerary teeth on cone beam computed tomography.
Article in Oral radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and visualization of supernumerary teeth (ST) and imaging characteristics of their gubernacular tract (GT) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
methodsPresence and visualization of ST were retrospectively evaluated using 960 CBCT images. The imaging characteristics of GT were analyzed to determine various presentations of GT according to type, shape, and orientation of ST.
resultsST were radiographically detected in 93 patients, for a prevalence of 9.7%. Premolar shaped ST were more common (p = 0.003). GT was detected in 104 (77.2%) of impacted ST and mostly found straight in shape (49.0%). It was most frequently observed in peridens (n = 51, 49.0%) followed by mesiodens (n = 41, 39.4%) and more frequently seen in premolar-like ST (n = 44, 42.3%). The mean length of the GT in mandible was 2.8 mm, the mean length of the GT in maxilla was 1.0 mm (p < 0.001). The mean angle of the GT in mandible was 17.0, and the mean angle of the GT in maxilla was 43.0 (p = 0.004).
conclusionsCBCT can be used for evaluations in dental practice to provide comprehensive information about ST and their GT characteristics. Clinicians should be able to identify the characteristics of GTs on CBCT for dental treatments, especially traction and extraction of ST.
