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

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prevalence of pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to explore the mechanism and characteristics of PEIR development. CBCT images of patients aged ≤ 20 years with unerupted teeth at Hiroshima University Hospital were collected. We examined 1530 patients with 10,576 unerupted teeth. Teeth with PEIR were identified for the detailed location and size of the PEIR in the crown using multiplanar reconstruction. The subject and tooth prevalence rates of PEIR were 1.96% and 0.31%, respectively. The teeth that were the most commonly affected by PEIR were mandibular third molars (3.09%). The prevalence of PEIR was significantly higher in females than in males, and higher in the mandible than in the maxilla. No significant difference between in the position of PEIR within the crown was observed. Moreover, CBCT imaging revealed the onset of PEIR in one case. This study demonstrated the prevalence of PEIR and identified statistically significant sex- and location-based differences. Furthermore, one case of CBCT imaging supports the hypothesis that the onset of PEIR was due to resorption after completion of the crown.
