1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe gubernacular canal (GC) is an important dental structure that enables the alveolar bone ridge cohesion of permanent teeth, although GC absence may indicate a dental eruption that might be associated with certain syndromes such as Down's syndrome. This study aims to correlate the eruptive delay of permanent teeth in individuals with Down's syndrome (Ds) and the gubernacular canal (GC) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS AND

resultsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between January and July 2022 with a total of 31 individuals (G1 = 16 nonsyndromic and G2 = 15 Down's syndrome) who went through imaging evaluation using CBCT with the following acquisition parameters: tube voltage of 95 kVp, tube current of 7 mA, exposure time of 5.9 s and voxel sizes and field of view 0.15 mm and 0.30 mm, respectively. The imaging evaluation was to assess whether all teeth analyzed had the presence of GC and/or teeth eruption disturbance, with a descriptive statistical analysis of relative frequencies and quantitative variables as well as the

resultsA total of 618 teeth among 31 individuals were analyzed, 475 (76.8%) GC were detected by CBCT in 23/31 patients and of these, 6 belonged to G2. G2 had a decreased GC detection rate (

conclusionWe concluded that GC absence was higher among Ds individuals, explaining the increased rates of unerupted or impacted teeth in Ds individuals.
